Heres a response from Jayme Edwards - the original author of NAnts msi tasks - which actually perform in a similar manner to wix. ( posed as a reply to the original announcement ) Wow, Well here we go again. As the original contributor of the MSI task to NAnt's "NAntContrib" project (http://n

Noel, This bugged me as well till I took it one step at a time.  IIS6 is totally different from IIS5 or IIS5.1, so there are a bunch of properties that are trying to be set that fail.   If you remove the following properties from the MkIISDir and IISDirInfo task, it will work fine.   A

Gert, I'd like a parameter added to the delete task (or maybe the fileset task) specifying whether directories should be deleted. When I used the task I expected only the files to be removed. Bob, The script below in target "use_foreach" will delete all files below ${DelDir} and leave the di

Gert, I found the problem. In the Nant.Dotnet project, PerformSearchForResourceLinkage method. You read the .cs file and look for the first occurance of the keywords "namespace" and "class". "class" was the problem in my case. matchClassName.Groups["class"]; It seems that one of the developers

Jo, You don't need to nest the ${} syntax. Everything inside a ${} block is an expression so you can reference properties by name. So what you need is: ${string::replace( testReplace,'bb', testValue) } hope that helps. Ian Jo De Greef wrote: Hi all, I try to do a string::replace on one of my

Yes, it's included in the nightly builds (since December 2003) and will be included in future stable releases. It has been greatly enhanced since the nant-ee-test1.zip release. See http://nant.sf.net/ for more information. Documentation can be found at: http://nant.sourceforge.net/nightly/help/fu

In my opinion, the 0.85 nightly builds are far more stable than the 0.84 release. I'm not saying that we might not rename some tasks or functions, but there are definitely less bugs in the nightly builds. Gert - Original Message - From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMA

Great, Thanks Gert. At the risk of seeming overly cautious, could I ask how stable the nightly builds are? Am I safe to use them as the basis of building our software? If not, then what is the likely release date for 0.85? Many thanks, Bill -Original Message- From: Gert Driesen [

Hi, I have a bit of a problem with the task and can't see what's wrong. Below is a copy of my build script and the associated output. According to the documentation, I should be able to use a property value in my current project to pass through top a new NAnt instance, but it seems to be failing
