I've been thinking about creating an MsiVal2 task myself a couple of times, but haven't gotten around to it.
I think it should have it's own task and not be part of the current MSITask. That would enable you to validate archives created by other packages. However, it might be a bit overkill to make a task and not just use exec. /Kræn > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Scott Hernandez > Sent: 24. oktober 2003 16:58 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [NAntC-Dev] MSITask problem > > > Would it be useful to add an attribute to automatically run > msival2.exe on the newly created msi?
