Never mind. It seems to be a permission thing regarding the account ccservice is running under being able to run the program to create the installer.

In my ccnet.config project, my publishers task calls a specific NAnt build file, with a basedir, and a timeout of 300 seconds (5 minutes). In my NAnt build file, the exec task is used to execute this program the command line version of this product. However this section of the script just hangs. I then added a timeout value for the NAnt exec call of 5 seconds so the cc.net build would not hang. If I log into my build machine and execute the build script via the command line with the same parameters (base directory, etc), the NAnt script correctly creates my msi installer. So there is something amiss in the way that cc.net is invoking this same third party product. I have also added the verbose flag to the NAnt exec task to see the values of the "Starting program..." and the data that cc.net gives me matches what I get when I invoke the NAnt script from the command line. It does seem to find the program as TaskManager will have the process (if I don't have the timeout). I am honestly not sure if this is a cc.net issue, or a NAnt issue. But since I can run the NAnt script from the command line, I'm starting with cc.net. What can I look at to see why my executable is not being run as expected? I am using cc.net 1.5.6804.1, and NAnt 0.86 (Build 0.86.3412.0; nightly; 5/5/2009). My build machine is Windows XP, SP2 Virtual Machine. One other tidbit - the beginning of our build process invokes this same program to edit the installer build file to set the version number. This process works fine. But invoking this same program with the command line argument to create the installer hangs when called via cc.net. I am stumped as to what else to look at. Any ideas?
