You receive a build error message when you use the Assembly Registration tool (Regasm.exe) in Visual C#
When you use the Assembly Registration tool (Regasm.exe) in a
pre-build event or in a
post-build event in Microsoft Visual C#, you receive one of the following build error messages in the Output window:
Message 1Performing Post-Build Event...
'regasm' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file. Project error: A tool returned an error code from the build event
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Microsoft.Common.targets(814,9): error MSB3073: The command "RegAsm.exe "[Path]\MyClassLib.dll"" exited with code 9009.

To resolve this problem, specify the complete path of the Regasm.exe file that is located in the Microsoft .NET Framework directory.
For example, if you are using Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003, use the following line of code.
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\RegAsm.exe [path of dll]\MyClassLib.dll
If you are using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, use the following line of code.
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\RegAsm.exe [path of dll]\MyClassLib.dll
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
