Does Hudson have a problem for building a CSPROJ file with MSBUILD?

Good morning

I'm running Hudson java -jar hudson.war and I have configured MSBuild as described here. It seems MSBuild is not working.

I think there is something to do with the default value contained in .csproj file:

  <Import Project="$(MSBuildToolsPath)\Microsoft.CSharp.targets" />

This path is misleading, and takes Hudson to C:\Microsoft.CSharp.targets and not to C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Microsoft.CSharp.targets as it should be.

I tried to hard code the csproj file, with this full path information, but it throws an exception too telling there is an invalid character.

Maybe I'm using the wrong MSBuild.exe version?

Here is the Hudson message when using default $(MSBuildToolsPath) variable in csproj:

Ok, indeed I just needed to add the right path to 

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\MSBuild.exe
