MSBuild compile error “resgen.exe” .Net FX 3.5 Too

Question

Im trying to compile a project made in VS2012 in Windows 7 x64.

Trying to compile it in a virtualmachine with Windows 7 x86 and .Net framework 4.0 installed using MsBuild 4.0 but I get this error about "resgen.exe" and netfx tools 3.5:

acker.sln" (default target) (1) ->
"C:\Users\Administrador\AppData\Local\Temp\Virtuosa Game Packer\Extractor.vbpro
j" (default target) (2) ->
(CoreResGen target) ->

DKs\Windows\v7.0A\WinSDK-NetFx35Tools-x86. You may be able to solve the problem
 by doing one of the following:  1) Install the Microsoft Windows SDK.  2) Inst
all Visual Studio 2010.  3) Manually set the above registry key to the correct
location.  4) Pass the correct location into the "ToolPath" parameter of the ta
sk. [C:\Users\Administrador\AppData\Local\Temp\Virtuosa Game Packer\Extractor.v
bproj]

My question is what requisites about Framework will need another machine to compile the project?

If I install the NetFX Tools 3.5 in that virtual machina then I can compile the project?

Where I can download the NetFXTools 3.5 x86? (Really I can't find it in Google)

Answer 1

Another solution is to install only the .net development tools from the windows SDK. Use the web installer deselect all, select only "Tools" under Dot net framework development.

As the errormessage states you can copy resgen from your computer to somwhere on the vm and change the registry to point to the correct path.
