Where do I get resgen.exe to use with NANT?

I am simply trying to run NANT with resgen, but I can't seem to find what I need to download to have it available in 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\bin\resgen.exe' on my server.

Thank you.

On the server running your NANT script, you can either install Visual Studio 2005 to get "resgen.exe" available at the location described in your question or you can install the Windows SDK.

Once installed, "resgen.exe" will be available at a location similar to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin
