I have a post in NAntContrib's developer list that I'm hoping will solve
some of this (for Windows users anyway). I have an MSI task that I would
like to use in a target in the NAntContrib script to generate a Windows
Installer (.msi) file that will install NAnt, NAntContrib, the VS.NET Addin
and SLiNgshoT. The MSI task can set up features (the treeview that shows up
in a "custom" install mode) so the user can select/deselect the task
libraries he wants. Unfortunately the MSI task is approaching 3k lines of
code but I still need to add custom actions and start menu shortcut support
to do this. I hope to find the time to get this done sometime later this
week.
