Gert, You're the very best! The problem went away with matching NAnt(nant-0.85-nightly-2005-03-31). Thanks for bearing with me as I learn the rules of the road. I originally did not consider a dependency with the NAnt package but it makes sense. Going forward I will be sure to always use the same version of NAnt and NAntContrib. Thanks very much,
Jim, Thanks for the sample zip, all is working now. Best regards, Chris. -----Original Message----- From: Gert Driesen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 05, 2005 12:20 PM To: Cuadras, Christopher (P&C, PL); 'Jim Geurts' Cc: nantcontrib-developer@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [NAntC-Dev] InstallerCreationCommand.AddFiles Error Christopher, You should use a version of NAnt that matches the version of NAntContrib that you're using.
