Thank you, Ian!! After I commented out the problem section of self-tests for NAnt 0.8.3 (it's very unhappy that I'm Framework 1.0-less) and got a good build of that, this worked like a charm. Now I can attack that pesky verbosity problem.
[You'll probably save lots of future questions from new fish like me if you drop your two easy steps into the readme.txt file to replace the old copy.] There are some warnings when built against Framework 1.1 that the next person into MSITask, MSMTask and NUnitReportTask should be aware of (so s/he can fix 'em), especially the overloads for XslTransform that M$ is bound and determined to make obsolete. ----- snip ----- C:\Sandbox\NAntContrib>nant -D:nant.dir=C:\Sandbox\NAnt-0.8.3.50105 -f:NAntContr ib.build NAnt version 0.8.3 Copyright (C) 2001-2003 Gerry Shaw http://nant.sourceforge.net Buildfile: file:///C:/Sandbox/NAntContrib/NAntContrib.build init: debug: UpdateNAntReleaseFiles: [echo] Using nant files from C:\Sandbox\NAnt-0.8.3.50105 prepare: [mkdir] Creating directory C:\Sandbox\NAntContrib/build/nantcontrib-0.1.0.0- debug.
