error : Building Windows Phone application using MSBuild 64 bit is not supported

I tried to build my first windows phone library under VisualStudio2012 with help of task under the NAnt.

error : Building Windows Phone application using MSBuild 64 bit is not supported.

Am I right that I should use 32bit version of MSBuild, as for the WindowsPhone 7 projects?

Yes you are right. If you are using TFS build definitions, change the MSBuild platform to x86. When you edit your build definition in VS 2012, select Process and go into the Advanced Settings option and change the MSBuild Platform drop down list from Auto to x86. When the 32-bit version of MSBuild will be used and all of those 32-bit tools will produce your Windows Phone 8 libraries without a problem.

OR if you use the MSBuild via cmd :

"C:/WINDOWS/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v4.0.30319/MSBuild.exe" instead of "C:/WINDOWS/Microsoft.NET/Framework64/v4.0.30319/MSBuild.exe" (/p:PlatformTarget=x86)
