when i first Installed Visual Studio 2008 Team system i was trying to compile the application i just migrated from visual studio 2005
and i got the error
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Microsoft.Common.targets(1950,9): error MSB3011: "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\AL.exe" was not found. Either 1) Install the .NET Framework SDK, which will install AL.exe. Or 2) Pass the correct location of AL.exe into the "ToolPath" parameter of the AL task.
Solution 1 :
the fix is simple you need to download the AL.exe as part of the SDK you can find it here
Solution 2 :
or you can download a zip file that i have copied from another computer which has the SDK i have included the files here 41Kb
copy that to your SDK folder as you have installed visual studio it’s already created so copy the two files from the zip to this path
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin
and then you have to update the registry of its location
so
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows]
"CurrentIA64Folder"="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft SDKs\\Windows\\v5.0\\"
"CurrentIA64Version"="v5.0"
"CurrentInstallFolder"="C:\\Program Files\\\\Microsoft SDKs\\Windows\\v6.0A\\"
copy the previous code snippet to a new text file called “newfile.reg” double click it
you may have to restart visual studio for it to work
