SDK path is empty in Notepad++ plugin.net
c#, notepad++, path, plugins, sdk
Solution
The build process calls program `ildasm.exe`. The directory for that program may not have been added to the `PATH` environment variable. When I installed Visual Studio 2012 Express installer the directory was not added so I added it to the `PATH` and the build succeeded.
I tracked the problem down by increasing the amount of logging output written by the build process. (Via Tools => Options => Projects and Solutions => Build and run => MS Build ... verbosity.)
Not sure whether your error is identical. Before adding the directory to the `PATH` the errors below were generated:
1>------ Rebuild All started: Project: NppManagedPluginDemo.VS2010, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------
1> NppManagedPluginDemo.VS2010 -> C:\Adrian\VS\NppPlugin.NET.v0.5\Demo Plugin\NppManagedPluginDemo\bin\Debug\Demo.dll

There are several versions of `ildasm.exe` in sub directories of `c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\` of my current computer.
Problem
I'm trying to develop a Notepad++ plugin using a nppPlugin.netV0.6 template. Downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/sourcecookifier/files/other%20plugins/NppPlugin.NET.v0.6.zip/download I got a build error [`SDK path is empty.`] The same template is working in other system (XP also). Can anyone give me an resolution for this issue?
