Yes, .NET 3.5's msbuild can be used to generate IronPython (2.x) binaries that will run under .NET 2.0 SP1 in the manner I showed below. This is what we use for generating IronPython Alpha/Beta/etc releases. Please note that you won't be able to run IronPython 2.x without SP1 of .NET 2.0 (or alternatively .NET 3.5) installed though.
It hasn't been possible to build IronPython.sln under Visual Studio 2005 for a couple of release cycles.

They didn't have a PublicKeyToken and in VS 2005 I got the error: error CS1577: Assembly generation failed -- Referenced assembly 'Microsoft.Scripting' does not have a strong name Can I use your MSBuild (using 3.5) to target 2.0?

I've just verified this is still the case with the update to CodePlex yesterday. Which IronPython binaries are you trying to run and what error message are you getting? The other thing is you shouldn't need Visual Studio 2008 to build the latest IronPython sources from CodePlex's TFS repository. You just need .NET 3.5 installed and the following should work: pushd %WHEREEVER%\IronPython-38029\IronPython_Main\Src C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\MSBuild IronPython.sln Dave From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of hellosticky Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2008 7:51 AM To: 'Curt Hagenlocher'; 'Discussion of IronPython' Subject: Re: [IronPython] Building from source I can't even run DLR/IronPython without a strong name, so that'd be nice :). I actually don't really mind signing them myself for now ________________________________ From: Curt Hagenlocher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2008 10:04 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Discussion of IronPython Subject: Re: [IronPython] Building from source You need a certificate to sign the assembly if you want a strong name -- and of course any certificate that Michael has or generates won't have the same key signature as the certificate we use to sign here. For IronRuby, we've modified the export script so that building from source will no longer delay-sign the assembly but just leave it unsigned. Is this something that people would find useful for our regular source drops? If so, I can try to cajole Dave into changing the script. He probably doesn't have enough work to do anyway ;).
