Hi Manish, I should have clarified... the vdprojconverter is a work in progress (sort of). It does not completely translate a vdproj file to an equivalent nant msi syntax. This does not mean, however, that the msi task is incapable of doing everything that the vs.net install can. 1. The MsiTask

The dialog information should have been extracted w/ the vdprojconverter program. Do you have a sample that would show how the Visual Studio install contains more dialogs? The difference in filesize between MSITaskTemplate.msi and MSITaskTemplateVS.msi is because the MSITaskTemplate.msi file cont

Thanks James, 1.I downloaded file, It works with MSITaskTemplate.msi but not with MSITaskTemplateVS.msi 2.Setup created with VS.NET behaves differently than setup created with MSI task, VS.NET shows additional dialogs. 3.FYI: File size of MSITaskTemplate.msi is 288KB compared to MSITaskTemplate

The web based cvs on sourceforge says that the file is present. It was added 4 months ago. Anyway, try this link to download it directly (from SourceForge's CVS): http://shrinkster.com/1by Jim > I'm using NAnt 0.85 nightly build, old reference remained in file... > There is no MSITaskTemplateV

I'm using NAnt 0.85 nightly build, old reference remained in file... There is no MSITaskTemplateVS.msi in NAntContrib/bin folder, are you talking about MSITaskTemplate.msi? I'm using latest nightly build for NAntContrib also, I found one thread where you say that you have added above file to bin

A couple notes... the latest vdprojconverter doesn't support NAnt 0.84. Make sure you're using a nightly build. I would strongly recommend using the NAntContrib/bin/MSITaskTemplateVS.msi template if you plan on importing/merging wid & wim files. Jim > Thanks for reply James, > > Following is

The alternative to using the wid and wim files (merge modules) is to hand code the dialog information by yourself... I perosnally think that is a bit tedious and would opt to just copy the wid and wim files to the build machine. As far as the component structures that vdprojconvert creates... it *
