All you need is the VSS client that gets installed when you run Netsetup.exe from your VSS share on the VSS server.  You could make your build server the VSS server, but this isn’t necessary.

 

I would recommend using VSS version 6.0c, not 6.0d since 6.0d has a bug where recursively getting an old version isn’t recursive when used through VSS automation, which is what the NAnt task uses.  Microsoft has a patch for 6.0d that you have to call Microsoft PSS to get.  Back before Microsoft released the patch I wrote my own manually recursive get version of the NAnt task to work around this (it’s about 4 times slower), but the easiest thing to do is just use 6.0c, not 6.0d.

What are the requirements to use the VSS tasks in the NantContrib project?

Do I need a fully install of VSS on the build server?

Thanks,
