Ideas...
1. Set resultpropert and set failonerror to false. This way you can see
what errorcode was returned and that may give you a hint.
2. Are there any environmental variables that need to be set for it to
work? Perhaps you need to set them.
3. Try setting useruntimeengine to true. I could never find good docs on
what this did, but sometimes it helps. I think it has to do with if a new cmd
process is opened or not.

Subject: Re: [NAnt-users] Exec command
Hi Bob,
Yes I have verbose on, here is my exact command.
<exec program="${project.installer.build.exe}"
basedir="${project.installer.base.dir}"
failonerror="false" verbose="${project.verbose}" >
<arg value="${project.installer.file}" />
<arg line="-nowait" />
</exec>
Like I said it gets about half way through the installer build, before it goes
belly up. The working directory is being set correctly, that was the first
thing I checked. Oh yeah, and verbose is set to true, and I can see it
compressing he files until all the sudden it stops.
Thanks,
Scott Mitchell

Did you try setting verbose to true to see what was happening? Perhaps it is
not running in the directory you are expecting? Try setting the working
directory to the directory you are in when you run it from the command line. A
lot of times that is my trouble when EXEC doesn't work.

Subject: [NAnt-users] Exec command
I am having a problem with the <exec> command. (I think it is the <exec>
command at least)
I have started switching our build system to use NANT for the building of our
software. It is going very good, and has replaced so much of our old Perl
scripts, with relative ease. The problem I have run into is building our
installer .exe. We use Ghost Installer, and this has been working with our Perl
scripts by just calling it in a system() call with the command line. Now I can
also run this installer builder from the command line with out any problems.
But when I try to run this command line form the <exec> command it makes it
through about ½ way building the actual installer and then it comes back with
and "unknown error" and does not build the installer. But like I said the weird
thing is I can run this from the command line and through the Ghost Installer
Builder and build the installer without problems, but when using <exec> , it
almost always fail. I have also as a test put the command line call in a .bat
file, and tried calling the .bat file form the <exec> command but I run in to
the same problem still. I know this is not much to go on, I just thought I
would ask here to see if this sounds like anything anyone else has experienced.
Thanks in advance for any help.
