Converting .csproj to MSBUILD using .NET SDK

Hello All,

I'am writing a batch converter which will convert all the old .csproj files
of earlier version of .NET to .NET 2.0 . I dont have Visual Studio 2005. So
to convert programatically I need that assembly
Microsoft.Build.Conversion.dll . But with the .NET SDK v2.0.40607 I don't
find the .dll file under $ROOT\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.40607 . I
heard that this assembly is used by Visual Studio for conversion, why is
this assembly not shipped with the SDK? is there any official place from
which I could download this assembly?

And I don't know why microsoft made MSBUILD without backward compatability
of .csproj files in mind?
Looking forward to hear from you.

With Best Regards
Vamsi
