ManagedVwWindow.dll was retired with the Linux-era view shims (#906), which updated mkall.targets and Installer.legacy.targets but missed Build/RegFree.targets. It still listed the DLL as a managed COM assembly, so the RegFree task warned "Could not find file ...\Output\Debug\ManagedVwWindow.dll" for every EXE importing the target (UnicodeCharEditor, LCMBrowser). Remove the stale entry; the remaining managed COM assemblies (FwUtils.dll, SimpleRootSite.dll) are unaffected. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
