Task failed because "LC.exe" was not found after upgrade to Windows 8.1

i have an error building my Visual Studio 2005 after i upgrade my windows 8 to windows 8.1

here's the error.

    Task failed because "LC.exe" was not found, or the .NET Framework SDK v2.0 is not installed.  The task is looking for "LC.exe" in the "bin" subdirectory beneath the location specified in the SDKInstallRootv2.0 value of the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework.  You may be able to solve the problem by doing one of the following:  
    1.) Install the .NET Framework SDK v2.0.  
    2.) Manually set the above registry key to the correct location.  
    3.) Pass the correct location into the "ToolPath" parameter of the task.

can anyone help me.

This worked for me in Windows 10.

  1. Type regedit in command to open registry
  2. Then navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft.NETFramework
  3. Add SDKInstallRootv2.0 string value and set it to path C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0.
  4. Save the key

I am putting the screenshot

Adding the path to the Framework SDK into the registry solved it for me.

The relevant key is located under one of these paths:

  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft.NET\Framework (32 Bit)
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft.NETFramework (64 Bit)

I added a string value named SDKInstallRootv2.0 and set its value to the SDK path, which is probably one of the following:

  • C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0
  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0
