Given this information about how MSBuild is being repackaged... I am wondering if Visual Studio 2010 Express - or any VS/VC# Express version - really HAS to be installed to be able to build OpenSim from the GIT master source versions where only runprebuild.bat and compile.bat (which uses msbuild)?<br>
<br>
If we never open a Visual Studio/C# solution file is the Visual Studio install required, or can a more minimal setup of a relevant .NET framework install, or the latest Microsoft Build Toools 2013 with its inbuilt msbuild be used instead?<br>
<br>
I don't use all this Microsoft development environment stuff, so I hope my question makes sense. It just seems a pity to have to install masses or large development environment stuff on all our systems just to be able to compile OpenSim. It makes it impractical on a Microsoft Surface Pro with its limited capacity SSD drive for example, something I have done before while travelling to test things while away from our main grid servers.<div class="HOEnZb">
