Cannot compile in Release mode because of CroMagVersion error

Question

I have installed CroMagVersion into my solution using NuGet package manager.

It worked just fine in Debug configuration. Now that I want to try some Release mode I'm struck into this

4>  Processing '..\..\packages\CroMagVersion.0.3.4.0\tools\CroMagVersion.tt'... failed.
4>e:\path\to\solution\DataAccessLayers\Org.Zighinetto.MyProject.NHibernate\Org.Zighinetto.MyProject.NHibernate.csproj(161,5): error : (-1,-1): ERROR Error running transform: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): Unable to find the specified file

Though I have anonymised project names and paths, project structure is kept in the paths.

Basically I have

-- Solution dir

  --packages //NuGet's
  --DataAccessLayers
    --Project1
    --Project2
  --FrontEnds
    --Project1
    --Project2
  --ProjectX
  --ProjectY

I have triple-checked that:

1. packages\CroMagVersion.0.3.4.0 exists. Check
2. TextTransform exists in the right directory. Check
3. Running cmd, cding into the project directory and issuing ..\..\packages\CroMagVersion.0.3.4.0\tools\TextTransform.exe doesn't raise a file not found error but correctly invokes program. Check

My solution path does contain spaces (solutions are generally placed under Documents\Visual Studio 20xx and I'm no exception with 2012)

The question is

How do I fix that?

Answer 1

Upgrading to CroMagVersion 0.3.5.0 fixed. It was a known bug of the project

Release Notes
0.3.5.0 - minor bugfix

    When hg or git was not in PATH, builds could generate spurious exceptions like System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): The system cannot find the file specified

In fact, I don't use git (yet)
