I am trying to call nant from an asp.net (vb.net) web application. I am
using the following code:

    Public Function compile(ByVal compileArg) As String

        Dim args As String
        args += " -f:" &
ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("nantBuildFile")
        args += " " & compileArg

        'Response.Write(args)
        Dim proc As New System.Diagnostics.Process
        proc.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = "d:\"
        proc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = True
        proc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = True
        proc.StartInfo.FileName =
ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("nantBin") & "nant.exe"
        proc.StartInfo.Arguments = args
        proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = False
        proc.Start()

        'Response.Write("Output " & proc.StandardError.ReadToEnd &
"<BR>")
        Dim out = proc.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd

        proc.WaitForExit()
        proc.Dispose()

        Return out
    End Function

I am attempting to execute a build script that works fine when invoked
from the command line, but it fails miserably when called from the web
page. It returns a bunch of lines that look like the following:

 [delete] Deleting file FILE.
  [foreach] D:\ServerConf\default.build(32,6):
  [foreach] Cannot delete file FILE
  [foreach]     Invalid File or Directory attributes value.

I am almost certain it is some sort of permissions issue, but I'm not
sure what nant needs to run in terms of environment variables and temp
space. Has anyone attempted this, and if so, could you give me some
guidance?
