Matt,
When I tried the following:
<exec dir="C:\CVS_DB\WeightsEngine" executable="NMAKE.EXE">
<arg line="/f WeightsEngine.mak CFG=&"WeightsEngine -
Win32Release&""/>
</exec>
I got the following error:
BUILD FAILED
C:\CVS_DB\WeightsEngine\WE_Win.xml:84: The entity name must immediately
follow the '&' in the entity reference.
Did I miss something?
