framework installed on it and this will allow you to build with NAnt.
I'm afraid I have to disagree with this one. In most cases, NAnt won't
be installed on the target environment, nor NUnit, nor your source
control system, nor numerous other possibilities. But in any event,
there's no reason for the build environment to mirror the deployment
environment. For one thing, there are usually multiple deployment
environments for just one project build (e.g. Windows XP, 2000, 2003).
Or suppose the deployment environment was a Pocket PC?
The test environments (emphasis on the plural) needs to include systems
that mirror the deployment environments, but the build environment needs
to mirror the development team's environment.
