Yes sorry. Unfortunately I really don't know what the problem was. I think it
was the working Directory like you pointed out. But I also changed the two arg
lines'
They used to be
<arg value="${project.installer.file}"/>
<arg line="-nowait"/>
To
<arg file="${project.installer.file}"/>
<arg value="-nowait"/>
I also added the new parameter
"workingDir="${project.installer.file"
Right at this time I don't have time to investigate which one fixed it, but I
believe it was the "workingDir" parameter.
Again thanks to everyone for there help.

Thanks to everyone that helped me I got it working.
Here is the command now that works great.
<exec program="${project.installer.build.exe}"
basedir="${project.installer.base.dir}"
failonerror="false"
verbose="${project.verbose}"
workingdir="${project.installer.base.dir}">
<arg file="${project.installer.file}" />
<arg value="-nowait" />
</exec>
Again thanks to everyone for there help.

Scott:
Please run NAnt in debug mode (NAnt.exe -debug ...), and post the relevant
output here.
Bob:
The useruntimeengine is used to indicate the you want to run a managed
application. This has no effect when you're targeting .NET, but is necessary
when you're targeting Mono.
In NAnt 0.86, "useruntimeengine" has been deprecated in favor of a newly
introduced "managed" attribute which can not only be used to specify that
you're executing a managed application, but it also allows you to force the
managed app to be executed using the currently target CLR.
Meaning, if you have an assembly built for .NET 1.1 and you're targeting .NET
2.0 in NAnt, then you can use set the "managed" attribute to "strict" to
instruct the CLR (either .NET or Mono) to run application on the current target
framework (eg. .NET 2.0).

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.

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. BOb

PROTECTED]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
