Hello! Thanks for info on error source. After updating nant.exe.config manually to new registry keys everything seems to work fine.
Checking the way NAnt is using for detecting presence of any framework or sdk one can conclude that there is, in my opinion, a design bug which will prevent NAnt from using new versions of any framework which is not hardcoded into config and NAnt i.e. Mono-1.0.1 (or higher) instead of Mono-1.0. The way NAnt should take for checking framework presence or sdk presence is a check for minimal version followed by automatic identification of all versions which are higher than minimum requirement. Assuming backward binary compatibility, which is almost always present, NAnt should be immune to all version changes. This could be of major importance for those using Mono as one would expect very often bug-fixes releases coming roughly every couple of months (it is really very buggy stuff right now) and it is not very realistic to expect all users to have nightly builds installed. I do not know if this possible due to other reasons but could be a good "permanent" fix to this problem.

Lets wait for a reply -- and then update NAnt.exe.config appropriately to use the new settings.
