[jira] [Commented] (CB-5359) WP8 not very clear msbuild requirement

["Jesse MacFadyen (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5359?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13820826#comment-13820826 ] 

Jesse MacFadyen commented on CB-5359:
-------------------------------------

running reg.exe requires that the user is an administrator on the local machine.  This should not be a requirement, although I fear it may have been added elsewhere already.
