Hi Lawrence,
It should contain the vb compiler; which version and for which platform did
you download?

Hi Lawrence,

It's a known issue, and will be fixed in later packages.

Hi,

[Lawrence Hemsley]

Hi,

The update manager on my laptop just updated mono-complete, but using
monodevelop to build sample hello world source code I got the same error:

/opt/mono/lib/mono/4.5/Microsoft.VisualBasic.targets: error : Error
executing task Vbc: Argument cannot be null.
Parameter name: pathToTool

This is the same error that send me on my search for the vb compiler
previously.

Lawrence
