I manually copied cabarc.exe and cabinet.dll to my NAnt\bin directory
and that had no effect. Does your install set any env/registry
variables with respect to the cab sdk?
Are you using NAnt 0.86 (Build 0.86.2898.0; beta1; 12/8/2007)?
Thanks, Beth

Don't know if this helps Beth, but I wrote an install for Nant so
developers can install it to their machines (mostly because we have some
custom tasks etc) but because our build scripts also create installers,
I
included cabarc.exe and cabinet.dll in the install. These are installed
to the Nant\bin folder, and the MSI task runs fine with just these
installed on a dev machine (no need for the SDK)
You might want to give it a go and see if it helps.
Cheers,
Bill
