SmartAssembly build failed + msbuild + tfs

I have just updated my version of smartassembly to version 6.0. (I uninstalled version 5 and installed version 6).

When i try to build my project using tfs I receive the folowing error.

C:\Builds\....\: error : SmartAssembly build failed:
C:\Builds\....\ : The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002)

Here you can find the c# project file 
<UsingTask TaskName="SmartAssembly.MSBuild.Tasks.Build" AssemblyName="SmartAssembly.MSBuild.Tasks, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7f465a1c156d4d57" />
  <Target Name="BeforeBuild" Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == 'Release' ">
    <CreateProperty Value="true">
      <Output TaskParameter="Value" PropertyName="RunSmartAssembly" />
    </CreateProperty>
  </Target>
  <Target Name="AfterBuild" Condition=" '$(RunSmartAssembly)' != '' ">
    <SmartAssembly.MSBuild.Tasks.Build ProjectFile="D:\{smartAssembly}\xxx.Sdk.saproj" />
  </Target>

Here you can find the smart assembly project file

    Thanks for your post. Unfortunately we cannot tell from this information if it's MSBUILD not finding SmartAssembly, SmartAssembly unable to load the project, or something else, like a crypto key that can't be found.

    Have you check that you have SmartAssembly.MSBuild.Tasks version 6.0.0.0 in your GAC?

    I have checked this and, the msbuild dll is present in the gac. I now fixed this by executing smart assembly using the command line interface.

    On 64-bit there are 2 msbuild.exe:

    1) c:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\msbuild.exe

    fails with
    Smartassembly failes with The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002)

    2) c:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\msbuild.exe
    Works!

    This problem exists because the SmartAssembly setup does not write the install path to the 64bit portion of the registry - therefore when running under the 64bit msbuild process the smartassembly msbuild task cannot find the location of smartassembly.com.

    You can fix this particular problem by setting this value manually:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Red Gate\SmartAssembly 6\Path="C:\Program Files\Red Gate\SmartAssembly 6\"
    rs
