some updates in my quest: I found a bootcamped xp install on one of my minnies :) with vs and all. So I checked out castle and tried to build.
It failed. But nant complained about the LIB environment variable pointing to a nonexisting place. LIB variable? wtf! I checked my environment variables (rightlick my computer) against the shell's 'set'. Bingo! Quite a diference there. The shell I had used on both computers had been the Vs2008 command prompt. I switched to plain cmd and had a successful build, commited it and went to bed (and could not sleep). Now I tried the same with cmd here on my dev machine and did not get quite the same success, but things *did *change! Now the build breaks at Castle.Components.Validator.build. Thats quite a few more projects down the road. And I know it has to do with environment variables. That's much better than yesterday (not to mention setting up a new computer) :) Just for you to know ...
