Running nant to compile csc project

[emferrari]

Hi all

I have a cs project that contains a reference to the MSI.DLL. If I open
the project manually into the VS.NET it compiles fine, but when it runs
against nant it fails. The error is regarding missing namespaces that
are into the MSI.DLL.

Here is my nant command:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project
name="Framework.PresentationLayer.Updater.ActivationProcessors"
default="build" basedir="C:\Framework\PresentationLayer
(UI)\Updater\ActivationProcessors"
xmlns="http://nant.sf.net/release/0.85-rc2/nant.xsd">
<target name="build">
<csc target="library"
output="${bin.dir}\Framework.PresentationLayer.Updater.ActivationProcessors.dll"
debug="false" failonerror="false">
<sources failonempty="true">
<include name="ApplicationDeployProcessor.cs"/>
<include name="FileCopyProcessor.cs"/>
<include name="FileDeleteProcessor.cs"/>
<include name="FolderCopyProcessor.cs"/>
<include name="FolderDeleteProcessor.cs"/>
<include name="GacUtilProcessor.cs"/>
<include name="InstallUtilProcessor.cs"/>
<include name="MsiProcessor.cs"/>
<include name="UncompressProcessor.cs"/>
<include name="ValidateHashException.cs"/>
<include name="ValidateHashProcessor.cs"/>
<include name="WaitForApplicationExitProcessor.cs"/>
<include name="AssemblyInfo\AssemblyInfo.cs"/>
</sources>
<resources >
<include name="**\*.resx"/>
</resources>
<references basedir="${bin.dir}">
<include name="System.dll"/>
<include name="System.Data.dll"/>
<include name="System.Drawing.dll"/>
<include name="System.Windows.Forms.dll"/>
<include name="System.Xml.dll"/>
<include name="msi.dll"/>
</references>
</csc>
</target>
</project>

In the project is referencing like this:

COM reference
<Reference
Name = "WindowsInstaller"
Guid = "{000C1092-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}"
VersionMajor = "1"
VersionMinor = "0"
Lcid = "1033"
WrapperTool = "tlbimp"
/>

Any help is welcome!

Thanks!

Maybe getting the Nant extension project nantcontrib would help.

I'm sorry, but I didn't understand what you meant!

check out
http://nantcontrib.sourceforge.net/
nantcontrib adds tasks not included in the main nant build engine. It has
support for generating installers. Maybe your reference to msi.dll will work
out if using nantcontrib.

hope this helps,

Hi

I still can't compile the project. I've looked into the website and
tried a lot of different things and I still get errors.
