### Resolution

The Microsoft Windows SDK is not installed on the AOS server where you are trying to compile, or the `ResGen.exe` file is located in a different folder than Axapta expects.

Install Microsoft Visual Studio or Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5" on the AOS. Then, try to compile the Lasernet `C-Sharp` project.
