If your post-build events are all named PostBuildEvent.bat, you could also try replacing the .bat file for all your projects with a blank one after you get the source from VSS, then run the nant build.
example workflow 1. get all from VSS 2. use <copy> task with nested <fileset> to copy all PostBuildEvent.bat files from working directory to some backup location 3. use <foreach> element to loop through the postBuildEvent.bat files in the <fileset> from step 2, replacing each one with an empty PostBuildEvent.bat 4. Run the build as you do now, with the exception that now you use nant's <solution> task, and set the "outputdir" attribute to the final bin folder 5. use <copy> task with nested <fileset> again, this time copying the PostBuildEvent.bat files from the backup location back to the original locations. 6. create zip 7. copy to Florida --- Adam Gritt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I do have a clean setup for the script but I can't do a > clean of the final > destination as the original developers allowed circular > references to creap > into the project and until I am able to get those cleaned > out I can't do a > complete clean of the final destination folder.
