Hi,

when compiling a project that uses Pickles.MSBuild NuGet package, i get the following error:

The "Pickles" task could not be loaded from the assembly
C:\Users\dev\Sources\my-project\packages\Pickles.MSBuild.2.16.2\build\..\tools\PicklesDoc.Pickles.MSBuild.Tasks.dll
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Build.Utilities.v3.5, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies.
The system cannot find the file specified.
Confirm that the <UsingTask> declaration is correct, that the assembly and all its dependencies are available, and that the task contains a public class that implements Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask.

This seems to be related to the fact that i don't have legacy versions of .NET runtime installed on the machine.

What exactly do you mean by "legacy" version of .NET runtime?

Also: from the error message it seems you are using quite an old version of Pickles (2.16.2) - could you please try to use the latest version and see if it works better?

I suppose that what's needed is the ".NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)" Windows feature:

HI @gimmi did the above solution resolve the issue??

Hi @shahzad285

sorry, but I've moved away from the project that uses that old pickles version, and I have not a quick way to test it.

Will close the issue for now, thanks for support.
