Did you get this resolved?

Answer 2

If you have not resolved this yet, here is my suggestion.

It sounds like either the devenv.com script does not exist or PowerShell is having trouble using it. Perhaps the VS install was not complete or the devenv.com file was removed?

The VS environment variable is set in with this line in the PowerShell script:

$env:VS="${env:ProgramFiles}\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE"

I think if you install Visual Studio in a non standard place (outside of the Program Files root that the PowerShell script expects) you could get this error too.

Thanks,
