Frank, we can sure help. Please forward this post to the NAntContrib-Dev list
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nantcontrib-developer There is also a section on building NAntContrib from cvs on the wiki too. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Frank Tullen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, November 10, 2003 11:53 AM Subject: [Nant-users] Problems with IIS-related tasks > Hello, > > Recently, we started a new project where we want to 'automate' the complete > build cycle > (documenting, packaging ...) by using NAnt. > > We will be using webservices within the project which require an IIS-layer > underneath them. > In order to do that, we basically need the 'mkiisdir' and the 'deliisdir' > task before getting > all of the current sources ('vssget' task) from Visual SourceSafe > repository. > > Going on that assumption, I started out with the stable 0.8.3 release of > NAnt which seems to > run just fine except for one glitch ... the current implementation of > IIS-related tasks was done > for an IIS 5.x-based installation (Win 2000 and Win XP). > For our project, we are going to use Win 2003 as kernel which holds IIS 6.0 > as such.
