@Chris capitalizing the D gives the same error. The projects within the solution are all .Net Framework 3.5, with an output type of Class Library. Each project has its own subfolder within the parent, and the output should be going to each projects bin folder. Build order is important, but it is specified within the solution file.

First, is this a .NET 4.0 application? Lastly, what does your target look like that is calling msbuild?

Somehow I managed to download NAnt .85 and not NAntContrib (I wondered why it looked exactly like the other binary I had, size and all).

The installation instruction for nantcontrib say to copy the <nantcontrib>\bin files in the <nant>\bin folder. Did you do that? -chris From: Jed Padilla [mailto:jpadi...@flclerks.com] Sent: Thursday, May 26, 2011 3:49 PM To: 'Brass Tilde' Cc: nant-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [NAnt-users] Solution format of file is not supported. I guess I am missing something simple. I went out and downloaded nantcontrib 0.85. I tried adding the following to my build.FACCBase target <msbuild project="FACCBase.sln"> <property name="Configuration" value="debug"/> </msbuild> And now I am getting the error Invalid element <msbuild>. Unknown task or datatype. I put NAntContrib in a different spot that I put NAnt 0.9, and changed my nant.bat file to reflect the new location. What did I not do correctly? I think once I overcome this initial hurdle I will be good to go.

We've found that it's easiest to just use the MSBuild task, rather than the solution task, which calls out to MSBuild itself.

The project I am working on has 10 different solutions to it, and each solution usually has multiple projects within that will output dll files for the final solution to use. I have a very simple .build file right now: <project name="Solution Build Example" default="rebuild"> <property name="configuration" value="release"/> <target name="clean" description="Delete all previously compiled binaries."> <delete> <fileset> <include name="**/bin/**" /> <include name="**/obj/**" /> </fileset> </delete> </target> <target name="build" description="Build all targets."> <call target="build.FACCBase"/> </target> <target name="rebuild" depends="clean, build" /> <target name="build.FACCBase"> <solution configuration="${configuration}" solutionfile="FACCBase.sln"> </solution> </target> </project> The clean part is working fine, however when I get to the build portion I get errors: Solution format of file 'C:\TESTTFS\FACCBase\FACCBase.sln' is not supported. I am sure that you all will need more information to help me, so if you tell me what I am missing to get this working I will provide as much as I can. The solution in question has 8 projects and an active config of Debug|Any CPU Thanks.
