I'm having a problem with the aspnet_compiler.exe on a build machine that does not have VS 2005 installed on it. We're just using CruiseControl.NET and Nant to build (simple command line stuff). You can read the original post here.

The central issue is that why does a Web Application Project compile on my machine with VS 2005 SP1 and it doesn't compile on the build machine with the 2.0 Framework & SDK? Does VS 2005 need to be installed for aspnet_compiler.exe to work?

In order to compile a web application project on any machine it needs to have a Web Application project add on installed on it. This may inturn require you to install VS 2005 first. So Yes, VS 2005 is needed to be installed to build a WEB APPLICATION project.
