This I think is the final hurdle before I can start regularly building and using nant. Basically I want to vary the command line arguments of a custom action based on the OS that I am running. Currently I only care about the differences between Windows 2000 and XP/Windows 2003 Server. I have found a property called VersionNT that seems to hold just the information that I want and it is set at install time so this will reflect my target machine. The problem is that I want now to vary the command line arguements of a custom action based on the value of the property. I want to run <if> or <ifnot> with in the <msi> task. Is that possible? One really brute force way would be to make the command line arguments themselves properties that are set by a custom action that is run at install time. I would rather not do that but I guess if that is the only way?

This would be perfect information. Is there a way to incorporate this in with <msi> so that this information is available for the TARGET machine?
