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.
