Vista - MSBuild works everywhere except on one problem machine -Help!!!!

All,

We have an application that builds fine under visual studio, even on the
"problem" machine.
We are trying to use MSBuild from the command line to build that
application.

We use the following command
c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v3.5\msbuild wordagent.csproj
/p:configuration=release

This also works fine on every machine except for the "problem" machine.

On this "problem" machine we get the error at the end of this post.

If we modify the WordAgent.csproj.user as shown below msbuild works fine on
the "problem" machine. Of course, this is not the solution we want.

Any help would be appreciated. If you live in the West Chester Pa. area, i
will buy you a beer if you help us solve this!!!! : )

I am also having the same problem. Code compiles everywhere except one computer with Duo 2 processor. Were you able to compile yours?

Thanks.
