Problem with GAC Install action?

I am getting a failure when running the GAC Install action on an assembly that targets the .NET 4.0 framework. Following are the command line and error received:


"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\bin\gacutil.exe" /nologo /if "C:\Program Files (x86)\<path to my assembly>"
Failure adding assembly to the cache: This assembly is built by a runtime newer than the currently loaded runtime and cannot be loaded.

From a command prompt, I can run the following command successfully:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools\gacutil.exe" /nologo /if "C:\Program Files (x86)\<path to my assembly>"

Is there an option on that GAC Install action that I need to set or some other means of to get it to run the gacutil from the correct location?

I am running Visual Build Pro Version 7.7a.

The only way to do that in v7 would be to copy NETFX 4.0 Tools\gacutil.exe into a folder named bin (i.e., NETFX 4.0 Tools\bin\gacutil.exe) and create/update the DOTNETSDK_DIR temp/global macro to point to the NETFX 4.0 Tools folder. See the GAC Install action in the offline help for more details.

Yes, in v8, you can explicitly set the exact path+filename when overriding.
