[NAnt-users] NAnt Fix for .NET 3.5 Compiling Without Visual Studio

2009-01-29 Thread Ben Floyd
I recently had the problem that I created a build server that did not have Visual Studio installed and I needed to compile .NET 3.5 code. I figured out that NAnt 0.86 beta 1 was looking for registry keys in the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0a\WinSDKNetFxTools hive. To fix this

Hi Beth, The problem appears to be that the working directory - which is a temporary directory created by the task - no longer exists when cabarc is executed. I'll look into that, and make a new nightly build available that either fixes this issue (if I find the cause) or adds more tracing

Gert, I tried executing cabarc from my build file - that works (at least I get a .cab file - I'm not sure how the msi file gets generated.) Executing the msi block gives the same error (pasted again below). Here's the Distribute target I currently have (with the exec to cabarc directly):

Hi Gert, Actually I did not have the Cabinet SDK installed, but I do now (c:\tools\cabsdk). I then updated my PATH env variable to include c:\tools\cabsdk\bin. If I open a new command prompt window and just type 'cabarc', the program is found. However this had no effect on my msi task in my

Hi, I've run into a problem building an msi using nAnt. I hope you can give me some idea of what is wrong. I am setting up my directory as seen in the build below. When I set the foldername for USR to something five characters long or less, I get an entry for it in the Defaultdir field of the
