How can I get Microsoft.Build.Utilities.v3.5? I am using StyleCop 4.7 and it would seem that StyleCop msbuild task which is in Stylecop.dll has as a dependency Microsoft.Build.Utilities.v3.5. Do you know how can I obtain that dll? I mean what should I download and install in order to get that dll (installing Visual Studio is not an option)

I had similar issue with Visual-StyleCop.MSBuild version 4.7.59.0.

I fixed it by navigating to Control Panel-> Programs and Features-> Turn Windows features on or off and installed .NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)
