How can I successfully run secannotate.exe in a library that depends on a portable class library?

I am working on an Autofac project trying to convert all of our common logic into Portable Class Libraries and adding platform-specific libraries for specific functions.

My development machine is Windows 8 Enterprise (64-bit), and I have VS 2012 Ultimate installed with all the cropping. I do not have previous .NET framework components, any additional tools, or any additional PCL specific tools. This is a clean, new virtual machine with basic material. All builds and tests work fine in this configuration.

When I try to run secannotate.exe in the .NET 4.5 library (full profile), which depends on one of the portable class libraries, I get an error message indicating that I need mscorlib 2.0.5.0 .

Here is an example error. PCL - Autofac.dll; The complete .NET 4.5 profile library is Autofac.Configuration.dll.

Autofac Portable Class Library is designed for:

  • .NET 4.0
  • Silverlight 5
  • .NET for Windows Store Applications

You can replicate the problem by creating a new / empty PCL designed for this purpose and creating it. You will see links to mscorlib 2.0.5.0.
