Summary: Fails when target net-3.5 with NET SDK 3.5 installed (No VS)
Initial Comment:
0.86-beta1
If you try and target the net-3.5 framework on a PC with _ONLY_
- Net Framework 3.5
- Windows Server 2008 and Net Framework 3.5 SDK
installed, you get an exception here:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an
object.

and Nant exits.
This is because the 3.5 SDK registry key has changed.
To fix, amend the Nant config file 3.5 framework configuration project node to
try 2 locations for sdkInstallRoot:
<readregistry
property="sdkInstallRoot"
key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft
SDKs\Windows\v6.1\WinSDKNetFxTools\InstallationFolder"
hive="LocalMachine"
failonerror="false" />
<readregistry
property="sdkInstallRoot"
key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft
SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\WinSDKNetFxTools\InstallationFolder"
hive="LocalMachine"
failonerror="false"
unless="${property::exists('sdkInstallRoot')}" />

Just a FYI.
in addition to 3.5....
"Fails when target net-2.0 with NET SDK 3.5 installed (No VS)
0.86-beta1 "
I am guessing this will fail for all versions since the SDK is in
SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft
SDKs\Windows\v6.1\WinSDKNetFxTools\InstallationFolder

You have to also add
<readregistry
property="sdkInstallRoot"
key="SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Microsoft
SDKs\Windows\v6.1\WinSDKNetFxTools\InstallationFolder"
hive="LocalMachine"
failonerror="false" />
<readregistry
property="sdkInstallRoot"
key="SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Microsoft
SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\WinSDKNetFxTools\InstallationFolder"
hive="LocalMachine"
failonerror="false" />
Otherwise it will not work in 64 Bit windows.

Had the same problem. The changed registry path seems to come from 3.5 SP1.
Using the latest beta (2008-08-18) the error is not a null reference, but
simply "SDK is not installed".

Also hit this and came up with a similar patch to
Nant.Console\App.config.
Any chance this could be checked in to HEAD.

This is gonna become impossible to manage, if MS changes the key with each
release.
I'll look into this later. Can you try using the latest nightly build to
see if you still get the NullReferenceException?
Thx!
