Hi Friends

I have done a tool which will automate the build process using winforms in c#.

Earlier the tool used to work fine, i will take the latest version from the VSS and with the help of batch file i am able to build the project. (during this time i had only framework 2.0)

After installing .net 3.5 framework does this Registery value will get change, as in line 6 i am getting the registery value of MSBuild.exe file. If i run the application it will tell object reference not set to the instance of an object, i don't know.

What is my doubt is IS the registery or the Key or Value of MsBuild.exe will change when we install the latest .Net framework

here is the sample code:


xmldoc.Load(strXMLFilePath);
XmlNode x = xmldoc.SelectSingleNode("//vss");
localpath = x.Attributes["localpath"].Value;
string strFile = DirSearch(localpath + @"\\");
strFile = strFile.Remove(0, strFile.LastIndexOf("\\"));

strExecutionPath = Registry.GetValue(@"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Components\D3CD060B1EE638D4ABA554426FA0CD36", "D6461317C3DC4F04799BDCE9E42626FE", null).ToString();

strExecutionPath = strExecutionPath.Replace("?", ":");
strExecutionPath = strExecutionPath.Remove(strExecutionPath.Length - 12);
strNetDriveName = strExecutionPath.Substring(0, 2);
System.IO.StreamWriter sr = new System.IO.StreamWriter(strNetDriveName + @"\batch.bat");
sr.WriteLine("cd\\");
sr.WriteLine(strNetDriveName);
sr.WriteLine(@"cd " + strExecutionPath);
sr.WriteLine("MSBuild " + localpath + "\\" + strFile + " >" + strNetDriveName + @"\buildOutput.txt");
sr.Close();
RunBuild(strNetDriveName + @"\batch.bat");
this.Refresh();
lblBuildSucceed.Text = "Build process completed. ";

Hi Chetan VD,

I have read your thread carefully, but I am not sure whether the change of your Registery value is caused by different version of .net framework.
If it is, I suggest thatjudge the version of .net framework before you get the value.
And then get it at different position according to different version.

If there's any problem, please feel free to let me know.

Best regards,
