[NAnt-users] msi task - 'cabarc' failed to start
Hi, I saw a thread with the same subject approx a year ago in the mail archive, but I did not see any resolution. I am having the same exact problem. At the end of this email is the output from running the msi task from my nant script. I have not done anything with setting a path (either env variable or within the nant script itself). At this time, my msi task is very simple - I only have sourcedir defined as the directory that contains the files to put into the installer, and output defined to be the name of the msi installer. My application is a VS2008 solution built on .net 3.5 framework. Did the person with this same problem ever get it figured out? Are people able to successfully use the msi task with nant? If so, did you have to do some special configuration to get it to work?

Beth, Do you have the Cabinet SDK installed? Can you launch cabarc.exe from the command prompt?

Re: [NAnt-users] FTP Task
What FTP task are you referring to? This one from Google?
http://www.google.com/search?q=nant+ftp+task
http://www.spinthemoose.com/~ftptask/
If so, it looks like the date comparisons are hard-coded:
// snip
DateTime.Compare(
_client.ModTime(Path.GetFileName(remoteFilePath)),
(new FileInfo(fileName)).LastWriteTime)=0
// snip
this.Log(this.LevelLogfiles, Remote file is newer.);
It doesn't look like it can be easily extended. The task comes with a build
script. You could modify the code then submit your changes back to the author.
Maybe move DateTime.Compare into an interface:
public interface IDateTimeCompare
{
int Compare(DateTime t1, DateTime t2);
}
public class DefaultDateTimeCompare : IDateTimeCompare
{
public int Compare(DateTime t1, DateTime t2)
{
return DateTime.Compare(t1, t2);
}
}
public class OneHourBehindDateTimeCompare : IDateTimeCompare
{
public int Compare(DateTime t1, DateTime t2)
{
return DateTime.Compare(t1.AddHours(-1), t2);
}
}
Or add a timeOffset attribute to the connection task and move the
DateTime.Compare calls into a helper method that normalizes the times.
