[Nant-users] MSITask issue - Please help

[Runs Screaming]

I'm trying to polish off a build by producing an MSI and I'm running in to 
some issues with the last release of nant (0.8.3 final).  I had previously 
been able to produce an MSI w/ NANT 0.8.1 w/o too much hassle.  Now I 
constantly get the following exception:

    [msi] ERROR: System.NullReferenceException thrown:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I create a very simple build script that produces the error with 0.8.3 but 
not 0.8.1 if it would help.  I don't want to spam everybody with it so its 
not attached.  Please ask and I'll send it out.

Any help would be greatly apperciated.
