Are you sure you really want to recompile the Framework? There's no need to do this unless you've made a change to the Framework files. The reason you're getting this error is because we do not distribute the private keys with MM .NET. If you really do want to recompile MM .NET, you need to generate your own keys. For more information, see the UT message ID 816528, where one of our illustrious MM .NET MVPs <s>, Jason Mesches, describes how to do this.
