missing sn.exe

I just dl'ed 716 version to check out VS integration. For some reason, every managed release mode dll or exe I try to returns "<assembly name here> has not been regenerated due to the following exception occuring: Unable to find sn.exe". Same DLLs are openeded successfully in the standalone reflector.

The only way to get reflector add-in past the error is to start VS command prompt and launch devenv.exe from there.

HEre's the specs of the machine:

Server 2008 R2 64-bit
VS2008(no 2005 or 2010 versions installed) ran in admin and regular modes.
Windows 7SDK
No changes made to environment variable


I hope this helps making the product better. The concept of inegrated reflector is absolutely genious!

    Thanks for the report, and those details of your setup are really useful. We'll try to reproduce it, I'll let you know if we can.

    Thanks,

    Could you check whether you have a copy of sn.exe anywhere on your hard drive, and let me know exactly where if you do?

    I expect there's one in a folder something like:
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\BinThanks,

    There are a few exception reports coming in about this, but I really need to know where sn.exe is located on machines with this problem. Please let me know if you get this issue.

    Thanks,

    I have the same issue with VS2008.

    I am running Windows 7 x64. I fixed the issue by doing the following"

    1) Close Visual Studio and .NET Reflector

    2) Rename the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\ to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A-TEMP\

    3) Copy the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\ to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\

    4) Copy everything in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A-TEMP\ to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\ and replace any conflicts.

    5) Delete the empty folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A-TEMP\

    I did it this way to make sure I didn't overwrite any potential x86 files to help preserve compatibility as best as possible. Hope this helps!

    Ah, thanks a lot for that, that's really helpful. I'm not looking in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\ on x64 machines.

    Thanks for letting people know that workaround. I'll have a fixed build out later this morning.

    Cheers,

    I ran "Windows SDK Configuraion Tool" and changed registered SDK version from 6.0A to 7.0 and everything started working!!! I'm a happy camper!

    Yes, there are a couple of exception reports still coming in about this, if you know which location that sn.exe can be located I've missed, I'd really appreciate you letting me know.
