Christina,
We use the NAntContrib MSI and MSM tasks extensively. I'm including two
targets we use in one of our utilities. It will first create a msm merge
module, and then create a msi, using that merge module. This does a lot of
what you wanting. Be sure to look at the documentation on the MSM and MSI
tasks.

Subject: [NAnt-users] How to use Nant and Nantcontrib to do the functions of
a VS .NET 2003 setup project
Is there anyone who has tried to use Nant and Nantcongtrib
To build a VS .NET 2003 setup project to create the MSI output file?
Or use Nant and Nantcontrib to replace the functionality of the
VS .NET 2003 setup project?
I would like to find a way to use Nant and Nantcontrib to
Do the same functions that my setup project does in my
Visual Basic .NET 2003 Windows application that uses a service.
This setup project is included in the same solution as the
Windows application. The solution contains several projects,
With references and web references. The setup project will:
1. create a computer file folder that will be placed into the
computer's
Program files folder ie c:\program files\xxxxxx that contains:
a. all of the project's built dll's,
b. some text and word documents
2. places shortcuts onto the desktop
3. Creates A folder to place in the start all programs that contain
4. contain short cuts to one dll and the text and word documents
I need to be able to do a search the computer's hard drive for 2 dll's that
are referenced and used Within the application that are not created within
the application solution and place them into the file folder created in item
1.
I also need a way to create the shortcuts to use for items 2 and 3 above.
All of this has to be included in a script that can be executed by the
Trading partner.
