half right. It includes vbc.exe, csc.exe but not the resource compilers.
I wouldn't have thought you would need the .Net framework on production servers unless you are running ASP.NET application.
you have it backwards. csc.exe comes with the framework for precisely that reason - so that ASP.NET can work.
There shouldn't really be any reason for having .NET sdk on production servers. Maybe you should look at a build server which then copies compiled binaries across to your QA, UAT, and production servers, etc. Or modify your build scripts to have targets for copying files across to various servers.NAnt used to run without the SDK installed - it would just fail if you tried to run somthing like <resgen> - ie somthing that requires the SDK - maybe thats changed recently.
Aah - I see that you are using <vbc> with its <resources> child element - thats probably the problem.

Hello,
I'm trying to install and run NAnt on our various QA, UAT and PRD
servers and have come across a problem that I did not have on my
local machine. When I run NAnt on my build script locally it
works fine. When I run it on one of the server machines I get the
following error:
BUILD FAILED
The SDK for the 'net-1.1' framework is not available or not
configured.
OK, so obviously this is coming up because neither Visual Studio
nor the .NET SDK have been installed on the servers. The problem
is, my company does not permit me to install the .NET SDK on
production servers, probably with good reason given the security
hazards it can introduce. It looks like MS does not recommend
this practice either. Fair enough.
So what is the recommended approach here? I would think given the
tasks I am using (I'll lay them out in a little bit), that I'd
only be required to have the framework installed, but it looks
like this is not the case. Is there a particular task I am using
that's pushing this requirement? Maybe I can eliminate it for now.
Here are the tasks that I'm using:
<property/> <if/> <ifnot/> <mkdir/> <vbc><imports/><sources/><resources/><references/></vbc> <copy/> <foreach/>
If needed, I can include my full build file.
Many thanks in advance...
