We have a build server with both VS 2005 and VS 2008 installed on it [along with .NET 3.5 SP1 Framewerk], when our MS Build starts the ClickOnce deployment, it automatically looks for mage.exe in ths folder: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin"

I searched for mage.exe under "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\SDK\v3.5\Bin" but cannot find it.

Do we have to install any other softwares to get the v3.5 mage.exe?

Please advice, thanks!

I will answer my own question, I did find the latest mage.exe under "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin" but my other question now is how can I make MS Build to call this exe instead of the other?

I am using the below code to get the Framework SDK Path, this does not go to the Microsoft SDK directory, is there any other property that I can use? [I am not sure if this will help me: "GetFrameworkPath"] 

 

<GetFrameworkSdkPath>
<Output TaskParameter="Path" PropertyName="WindowsSDKPath" />
</GetFrameworkSdkPath>

thanks!

Why don't you just copy mage.exe to a specific folder and then reference it there?

Its location depends on the version of Windows and which SDKs you have installed. I am running Windows 7 and have two versions of it in two separate SDKs folder (I have a v7.0 too).

It doesn't have to be in the bin folder for you to use it. AFAIK there are no other dependencies.
