Here is an odd msi task error and an obvious workaround:
If you put a <icon> or <shortcut> tag after the <feature> tag, you get the
following error:
-----------------------------------------------------
BUILD FAILED
Validation Error: The element 'NAnt.Contrib.Tasks.Msi.MsiTask:msi' has
invalid child element 'NAnt.Contrib.Tasks.Msi.MsiTask:icons'. Expected
'NAnt.Contrib.Tasks.Msi.MsiTask:mergemodules'. An error occurred at , (33,
4).
-----------------------------------------------------
And the obvious workaround is to put those tasks before the <feature> tag.
Here is my entire msi task that fails:
