I’m setting up .NET 4.0 support on our CI server. I’ve installed .NET 4.0, and the .NET tools from the Windows 7.1 SDK.
On .NET 2.0 and 3.5, that just worked. With .NET 4, when I run the “Windows SDK 7.1 Command Prompt” from the Start menu, it complains about
The x86 compilers are not currently installed. x86-x86

Then when I try to run msbuild, I get:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1>msbuild
'msbuild' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1>
I can’t quite believe that installing the runtime and SDK will leave you with a system that can’t run msbuild… have I missed some obvious step or obscure Windows Update, or is time to give up and start hacking the system path?
