Hi Brett Thanks for your quick reply, but what exactly is innosetup and untidytasks??
The initial stumbling block in understanding the MSI task that I have faced (using NAntContribInstall.include as example) are 1. Where do I get a ProductCode, UpgradeCode or for that matter even a <component id="??"> 2. Is there a programmatic way to get those codes or is using guidgen.exe (located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Common7\Tools) the only way. If I cannot generate these codes programmatically then I cannot automate the build process. -daya -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Brett Michael Sent: Thursday, September 04, 2003 7:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Nant-users] Nand and Crystal Reports Daya, You should be able to embed the reports by adding them as resources in the csc or vbc task? Am I right in this guys? As for deployment, this is a little more difficult. I would suggest switching to innosetup and using the untidytasks for nant which includes an innosetup compile script. Then, make an msi file that only installs crystal reports appropriately. There are numerous tutorials on calling msi from an innosetup installer and you don't even see it popup messily, it'll do it all in the background. The only other option is to use the nant MSI task and include the Crystal MSM module there, but this is outside of my current knowledge as the MSI task looks to me like a beast to get working.

I am trying to build a C# ASP.net project containing Crystal Reports. The problems I am facing are. 1. When compiling my project using Nant, Crystal Reports are not being embedded in the manfiest of the project assembly (the dll generated from build). All of this works fine if I use VS.net or devenv for building the .sln file. I cannot use Nant <solution> task because it only supports ".csproj", ".vbproj" and it doesn't support ".vdproj" (Visual Deployment Project file for web application setup and deployment). 2. There is no way that I know of in Nant to specify Crystal Reports license key in CrystalReports_regwiz2003.msm (merged module). If I don't embed the Crystal Report license, then the deployed web app won't show any crystal reports and throw KeyCode related errors. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanx in advance Daya Sharma Programmer Analyst Zak Resources Inc. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nant-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nant-users ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nant-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nant-users ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nant-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nant-users
