So I have the line:

updaterScheduler = TaskScheduler.FromCurrentSynchronizationContext();

Which has worked fine on my debug machine (Windows 8.1) and on my virtual Windows 7 machines with .Net 4.5 installed.

But when I test it on my Windows 7 machine with .Net 4 Client Profile and .Net 4 Extended this line throws the error:

The current SynchronizationContext may not be used as a TaskScheduler

My project is Targeting .Net 4 so I'm unsure as to why this is happening? Is there a work around for this issue?

Is `SynchronizationContext.Current` null? – Lee May 21 '15 at 16:42
@Lee Yes, on `.net4` `SynchronizationContext.Current` is null and on `.Net4.5` it is not. What is the work around for this? – JKennedy May 22 '15 at 07:38
