[NAntC-Dev] basic msi target implementation question

[Ted Quinby]

I'm trying to figure out how the msi target works by creating an incredibly 
basic example and playing around with components, features, etc. (see below).

The target builds and successfully creates an msi file.  When I execute the 
msi file, everything runs fine until the very last step.  I get the 
following errors:

"Install Engine Not Initialized"

Followed by:

"Called InstallFinalize when no install in progress!"

This is probably due to a very simple and perhaps obvious 
omission/error.  The problem is that it's not obvious to me.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Ted
