MSBuild command-line error – Silverlight 4 SDK is not installed

msbuildsilverlightsilverlight-4.0

My MSBuild command line is as follows: 

msbuild e:\code\myProject.csproj /p:Configuration=Debug /p:OutputPath=bin/Debug /p:Platform=x86 /p:PlatformTarget=x86

The project builds fine on my development machine in VS2010 but not with the command above. I am running Win 7 64 – Bit. I'm getting an error that says I don't have the Silverlight 4 SDK installed but I do. I"ve read some posts that you have to set the Platform=x86 but to no avail. Here is the error message in full:

I figured this out - there is a setting in MSBuild where you can choose x64 or x86 environment for MSBuild (in the same page where you set MSBuild flags) - set it to x86 and everything will work.
