MSBuild error while building with new build definition

We are working with VS2008 connected to TFS2012. We have a requirement that if anyone do checkIn changes,then latest version files must be copied to a central folder that is not mapped with TFS. I had done some searching and then i found that if we can do this with build events and all i have to do is create new build definition with triggering at checkin. I can't create build definition in VS2008 so i have created build definition in VS2012 but while building with that it gives error like this

Debug | Any CPU
 1 error(s), 3 warning(s)
$/Global Module/cal_reg.sln - 1 error(s), 3 warning(s), View Log File
 C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v3.5\Microsoft.Common.targets (1418): Task failed because "AxImp.exe" was not found, or the correct Microsoft Windows SDK is not installed.

You may be able to solve the problem by doing one of the following:  1) Install the Microsoft Windows SDK.  2) Install Visual Studio 2010.  3) Manually set the above registry key to the correct location.  4) Pass the correct location into the "ToolPath" parameter of the task.

Well, the answer is in your build logs:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v3.5\Microsoft.Common.targets (1418): Task failed because "AxImp.exe" was not found, or the correct Microsoft Windows SDK is not installed. The task is looking for "AxImp.exe" in the "bin" subdirectory beneath the location specified in the InstallationFolder value of the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.0A\WinSDK-NetFx35Tools-x86. 
You may be able to solve the problem by doing one of the following:  
1) Install the Microsoft Windows SDK.  
2) Install Visual Studio 2010.  
3) Manually set the above registry key to the correct location.  
4) Pass the correct location into the "ToolPath" parameter of the task.
