I’m trying to integrate a project into maven having two components – client (written in silverlight) and server (written in java). The server side is fully maven compatible but I’m having issues running msbuild using maven. I get the following access denied error
Embedded error: Cannot run program “C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.3031
9\msbuild” (in directory “C:\workspace\something\client”): CreateProcess error=5,

shell: git bash and cmd

Anyone have success running msbuild using maven/java or running any windows process/batch file using maven?
Moved to Windows 7 and it works. Dont know why it didn’t work on XP but it solves the problem for me.
