Hi everyone,
I'm trying to create myfirst msi, and obviously I run into problem.
Below my script :
<project name="Build.Core" default="help">
<description>Build file to perform core common
functionality.</description>
<!-- Load the different external assemblies required-->
<loadtasks
assembly="C:\Users\Servers\nantcontrib\bin\NAnt.Contrib.Tasks.dll"/>
<msi
sourcedir="C:\Users\Builder\BuildArea\publish\Importer\Release\bin\"
output="Importer.msi"
template="C:\Users\Servers\nantcontrib\bin\MSITaskTemplate.msi"
errortemplate="C:\Users\Servers\nantcontrib\bin\MSITaskErrors.mst"
verbose="true">
<properties>
<property name="ProductName" value="Myproduct" />
<property name="ProductVersion" value="1" />
<property name="Manufacturer" value="Mycompany" />
<property name="ProductCode" value="{}" />
<property name="UpgradeCode" value="{}" />
</properties>
</msi>
</project>
Create the following error:

I' m wondering if I need a mergemodules element, and what is the role of the
msn task, I'm lost in the concept.
If someone could explain it to me, or else give some indication to but me in
the right direction, it will be deadly!!!
Thanks a lot for any help.
