MSBuild under CruiseControl.Net on XP

Question

Our continuous integration machine is using CruiseControl.Net and is running on XP Pro SP3. We're currently building x86 solutions in VB.NET from from VS2012 IDEs using the MSBuild.exe found in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\4.0.30319.

We had no problems until recently when code was recently added in one of the VS2012 solutions declaring a function that uses the Iterator keyword (as in Public Iterator Function (...)) and now MSBuild spews out a long list of errors for the declaration line. My understanding is that the Iterator keyword is newly supported for VB.net. Do we need an update for MSBuild or the VB compiler or something to get this to build on an XP machine?

[edit] Just noticed the VB compiler on the dev machines is v11.0.50938.18400 while the version on the integration machine is v 10.0.30319.233. I'm guessing that points to the problem. Next question: how do I get (or can I get) the 4.0 framework with the v11 compiler on to the cruise control machine running XP?

What's New in MSBuild 12.0 ? MSBuild is now installed as part of Visual Studio rather than as part of the .NET Framework. The current MSBuild version number is 12.0. If you want to install MSBuild separately, download the installation package from MSBuild Download.

I'm not a big fan of this (moving it from the framework install). But it is what it is.

But you have an issue now.
