That's perfect, I'll need to set up the environment variables.
is there a way to set up environment variables programatically? I'm working
with a bunch of people who are not used to using NAnt, and I'd like to be able
to just hit them with an install script that will set their path and
environment variables for any future cmd window.
Thanks
Malcolm
