I get the following error when running our MSBuild service (via CruiseControl.NET) as Local System. However, it does not occur when running the service as me. Please let me know if this is something that has been seen before and what resolution I might find. Specifically, what permissions requirements are needed to compile Workflow projects using MSBuild?

C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\Windows Workflow Foundation\v3.5\Workflow.Targets (127,5):

errorMSB4018: The "CompileWorkflowTask" task failed unexpectedly.

Thanks,

Found the fix!

Just use the 64x MSBuild exe.

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v3.5\MSBuild.exe

Hi Jonathan,

I am not very clear about your problem. Could you please show us how build the WorkFlow project with CruiseControl.NET?

Thanks,

Reviving this thread. I'm getting the exact same error. As it turns out, the following folder doesn't exist on my machine!
