Though I've gone go one step further, the build now stops with the following error:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:exec-maven-plugin:1.2:exec (compile-ms-winutils) on project hadoop-common: Command execution failed. Cannot run program "msbuild"... I'm running the build from the Windows SDK command prompt, but msbuild.exe isn't on the PATH and it is actually missing in the whole C:. I do have a msbuild.exe file on the Windows installation CD-ROM in D: \sources\sxs\amd64_msbuild_b03f5f7f11d50a3a_3.5.9600.16384_none_ecc760d4ddf5d348 but I prefer avoid using it directly, because I need a repeatable build procedure. This is a test drive, but I'll have to build hadoop on a production server that has no internet access, so I'd like to understand what should I do in order to have msbuild.exe in C:.
