Summary: Solution task fails to guess outputpath
Initial Comment:
symptom : when building a solution (attached here with
the build file) using the solution task, I get the
following output :

--------OUTPUTEND----------------
investigation : i discovered this in the vcproj file
(which I did not manually edit myself)
------------ .vcproj extract ----------
<Configuration
Name="Debug|Win32"
(....)
/>
(...)
<Tool Name="VCLibrarianTool"/>
(...)
<Configuration
Name="Release|Win32"
(....)
/>
<Tool
Name="VCLibrarianTool"
OutputFile="$(OutDir)/$(ProjectName).lib"/>
-------------- end of extract -------------
vs.net doesn't always set the OutputFile attribute on
VCLibrarianTool, and seems to default internally to the
other configuration in this case. The project compiles
fine under VS.Net 2003.
consequence : the solution task fails to guess the
outputpath through current configuration VCLibrarianTool.
suggestion : defaults to another configuration
vclibrarian tool (such as release, but what to do when
there are more configurations, or no more "release"
configuration ?)

I have also had this problem, I have a temporary workaround,
and have looked at the Nant source code.
I'm using NAnt 0.84 release. I tried the 7/14/2004 test build,
and it didn't resolve this problem.
To recreate the problem. Go into the MS Visual Studio .NET
2003 IDE, select File...New Project... and create an ATL .dll
project (unmanaged). In our case, lets create a project
called Binky. Hit enter through the rest of the defaults to
have the project created on your hard drive.
Notice that there are TWO .vcproj files created, one for
the .dll (Binky.vcproj), and another for the proxy/stub of this
DLL (BinkyPS.vcproj). The proxy/stub .vcproj is the one that
fails in Nant with this error.
As a work around, you can edit the .sln file with a text editor,
and delete the lines containing the Project...EndProject for
BinkyPS (and everything in between). The other project will
work. This workaround works for me because I don't care
about a COM proxy/stub (and I suspect most people don't
care about the proxy/stub)...
After looking at the source for
src\Nant.VSNet\vcconfiguration.cs, around line 113 (I'm using
0.84 release), the code is trying to get a OutputFile from
somewhere. First it tries to find one associated with the
Linker (VCLinkerTool), then it tries to find one associated with
the Librarian (VCLibrarianTool). The Proxy project doesn't
have an OutputFile anywhere, hence the null string returned.
If you think about it, in most cases a project has a output file
target of some sort, either a .dll or a .exe (which are created
by the linker), or a library (which is created by the librarian),
so this code kinda makes sense. Problem is, the PS project
doesn't have ANY output shown in this .vcproj file.

Update : NAnt version I used was recompiled; here's the
output when using nightly Build 0.85.1606.0
