It might be possible with some modifications. Supporting custom dialogs would be a pain, but it would still be possible. Also, VS.Net does not require a license agreement, but the current msi task does. This tool does not take that into account, so the generated xml fragment is somewhat broken, as it does not contain a valid link to a license file. So, further down the road, it might be feasible...
Otherwise, right now, I'm just trying to add little bits of functionality, when I have the time, to the support a more accurate translation. However, if someone wants to take on the task of integrating my work into the solution task, the code is available from my website :) Jim -----Original Message----- From: Gert Driesen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 20, 2004 6:07 PM To: James Geurts; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [NAntC-Dev] Convert vdproj to msi fragment James, Any chance we can use this to support setup projects in the NAnt <solution> task ?
