I'm replying to the list because this isn't really a bug or a feature request...
It appears as though you don't have a <features /> element defined. Also, you don't need to define the keyfile with the full path. Only the filename will suffice. Further information about the msi/msm tasks can be found here: http://nant.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/MSITask Also this page has example scripts: http://nant.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/samples%20for%20install%20tasks The following script should be closer to what you're looking for. At least it builds correctly. Note: I changed the keyfile and output directory because I didn't have the files that you did. <project name="msiSample" default="msi"> <!-- Location to output the complete msi --> <property name="output.dir" value="." /> <target name="msi" description="Builds a MSI install"> <msi output="${output.dir}\Setup.msi" sourcedir="${output.dir}" template="C:\Dev\NantContrib\bin\MSITaskTemplateVS.msi" verbose="true"> <properties> <property name="ProductCode" value="{7521DBD5-8039-4686-800C-4644EE2ADEBA}" /> <property name="PackageCode" value="{96D8AA97-72FB-48DB-80AE-CD1212B0A3E2}" /> <property name="ProductLanguage" value="1033" /> <property name="ProductName" value="Example" /> <property name="UpgradeCode" value="{E0FA6633-7502-42E9-B3E0-EFF8026027CC}" /> <property name="ARPCONTACT" value="Example" /> <property name="Manufacturer" value="Example" /> <property name="ProductVersion" value="1.0.0" /> </properties> <directories> <directory name="D_BINDIR" foldername="bin" root="TARGETDIR" /> </directories> <components> <component name="Content" id="{16B2FCA9-FD2D-41b3-A7C9-068CAF9A70AB}" directory="TARGETDIR" feature="DefaultFeature" attr="2"> <key file="license.rtf" /> <fileset basedir="${output.dir}"> <include name="license.rtf" /> </fileset> </component> </components> <features> <feature name="F__DefaultFeature" title="Main Feature" display="1" typical="true" directory="D_BINDIR"> <description>core files.</description> </feature> </features> </msi> </target> </project> Your Original Question ______________________________________________________ Trying to build an MSI File and I keep getting "Object reference not set to an instance of an object".
