Ahhh... Ok, that's fine. I was worried that I was doing something wrong :-)
I'll make one last comment on the MSI issue; if someone is going to be using a MSI to install NAnt, odds are, they aren't going to care much about it being one separate product or two, or where/how it's installed on their computer. A user installing by MSI will care about selecting the features that contain everything they are going to use and they will hope they never have to dive into the NAnt or NAntContrib directories to fix/configure anything. MSI users aren't going to try to upgrade NAnt without upgrading NAntContrib or vise-versa. In fact most won't realize they are two products at all if the typical install installs both. Now developers, that's a different story and anyone downloading and compiling NAnt is going to understand the differences between the two and will insist that they remain separate. Unix users, too, will want them to be separate, but then they won't be using an MSI either. My *opinion* is that the MSI is good as is. It meets the targeted user's expectations. And it simplifies support because you don't have to ask if they are using a different version of NAntContrib vs NAnt. It also doesn't make it hard to switch between the two installations if you want to. Now, you guys know a LOT more about NAnt that I ever will. I pull NAnt from CVS and rebuild it regularly and I'm comfortable with that. But I have to deploy NAnt internally here, and the MSI is the perfect tool for that. It's a fantastic product (both of them) and there is just something right about NAnt/NAntContrib being able to build its own installer :-) I hope the final decision of the MSI will keep NAnt/NAntContrib easy to use, no matter how and where its installed.

I just like to consider them as two separate products, and copying all binaries in one directory makes it less obvious which assembly is used / needed by which "product". If we ever remove dependencies on certain assemblies for NAntContrib, these will be left in the NAnt directory for eternety .... Everyone's free to do as they like ofcourse ...
