I just want to check that I am getting the right setup for building OpenSim 0.8.0 dev master now we have switched to .NET 4.0 as previously it seems that the tools to run runprebuild.bat and compile.bat were by default in all versions of Windows I have used. I am pretty sure I have .NET 4.0 installed in them all - I checked the registry on one and it says the .NET 4.0 "Full" version installed is (release 378675). But, I have never installed Visual C# Express or like tools on any of my OpenSim build machines before as far as I know, though they may have been alreday included in the Vista, Win7 and Win8 systems we use.

It seems that "msbuild" is needed as part of the OpenSim compile.bat script and is not present even on the very latest Windows 8.1 Pro systems... as I get an error saying that msbuild is not available...

D:\Temp\opensim-fd24147>compile.bat

D:\Temp\opensim-fd24147>\msbuild opensim.sln
'\msbuild' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

So, as you indicated, I am looking at the downloads for Visual C# 2010 [Express] on Windows and the (free) download from Microsoft says that a licence key is required after initial trial use... at

http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/downloads#d-2010-express

They indicate that "After installation, you can try this product for up to 30 days. You must register to obtain a free product key for ongoing use after 30 days. "

So, is that correct, all Windows users need to add this setup onto their Windows system in order to use the prebuild.bat/compile.bat route from now on?
