[SOLVED] error during build using sandcastle help builder with visual studio 2010 .NET 4.0 project

error during build using sandcastle help builder with visual studio 2010 .NET 4.0 project

I was using sandcastle to generate help for my project in visual studio 2008. When i change my project to visual studio 2010 and change the project .NET version to .NET 4.0 i got this problem with Sandcastel. I can't understand why sandcastel is using C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v3.5\MSBuild.exe and not C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0\MSBuild.exe thinking that i specified as framework version the v4.0.30319

Can anyone tell me how to resolve this issue?? Where to change the path of the msbuild.exe or some other solution ???

Solution

I had the same problem today, and this post helped me resolve it: http://shfb.codeplex.com/Thread/View.aspx?ThreadId=214594

Solution summary:

Step 1: Ensure you've got the latest Sandcastle patches, especially for VS2010, available at: sandcastlestyles.codeplex.com. As of today, it is 'Sandcastle May 2008 Patch Rev 3 '.

Step 2: Add another supportedRuntime element to the 'MRefBuilder.exe.config' file that utilizes the RTM version of .NET 4.0:

<supportedRuntime version="v4.0.30319"/> <!-- 4.0 RTM -->

I still had the error after step 1, then step 2 finally fixed it.
