FAKE cannot build template automatically

[tpetricek]

The VSIX extensibility project that builds Visual Studio template cannot be built automatically using FAKE. The relevant lines in the build script are here.

The relevant error seems to be:

"c:\Tomas\Public\FsLab\temp\template\FsLab.Template.csproj" (Rebuild target) (2) ->
(ValidateVsixManifest target) ->
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v12.0\VSSDK\Microsoft.VsSDK.targets(75,5): error MSB4018: The "ValidateVsixManifest" task failed unexpectedly. [c:\Tomas\Public\FsLab\temp\template\FsLab.Template.csproj]
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v12.0\VSSDK\Microsoft.VsSDK.targets(75,5): error MSB4018: System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'Microsoft.VsSDK.Build.Tasks.ExtensionManagerUtilities' threw an exception. ---> System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Settings.12.0, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. [c:\Tomas\Public\FsLab\temp\template\FsLab.Template.csproj]

I suspect this has something to do with the fact that this is a non-standard project that requires VS SDK.

Doing the last step by hand is not a big deal though!

I assume we need VsSDK experts ;-)

"VsSDK experts = ∅"

... but I guess one can still have a hope :-)
