Hi,
I ported a VS2005 project from my old XP machine to my new Vista 64 machine running VS2008.
In my project I was using Wsewsdl3.exe to generate c# code from wsdl definitions.
Wsewsdl3 refused to run with the error:
"Could not get the install directory for .NET Framework v2.0 SDK. Please install the .NET Framework v2.0 SDK."
I know that Wsewsdl3 is a pre-processor for Wsdl.exe and also knew that Wsdl.exe had changed paths between VS versions.
Luckily Wsewsdl3.exe is written in .Net and I was able to use Reflector to disassemble the source and find where it was looking for Wsdl.exe.
Here are the code fragments:
Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(@"Software\Microsoft\.NETFramework");
key.GetValue("sdkInstallRootv2.0")
When I looked in the registry of the old machine I saw this key.
At this point I installed the .Net 2/0 SDK
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=fe6f2099-b7b4-4f47-a244-c96d69c35dec&displaylang=en
This installed itself at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0
Now I opened the registry editor RegEdit.exe, moved to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework and added a new string value with name
"sdkInstallRootv2.0" and value "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0"
Wsewsdl3.exe now runs.
I hope this has not screwed anything else!
Hope this helps someone.
Andy

Thanks for the post, it is helpful. You can use this path as well so you don't have to explicitly install the .net 2.0sdk
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A
I can confirm that adding a string key named "sdkInstallRootv2.0" at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\ with the value "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A" works for me as well...
Thanks,

Thank you a lot for the post.
Instead of installing 2.0 SDk, just serach for wsdl.exe, usually we can find in C:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A for Windows 7 machines and add this value with name sdkInstallRootv2.0 as the registry key.
