Don't use ${ } inside an existing expression. You use it once to say
this in an expression.. from there Nant knows how to find the keywords,

So instead of if test=${not
file::exists(${version-info-script})}
Use if test=${not file::exists('version-info-script')}

Actually, in the original posting, version-info-script was a property
that was initialised with the name of the file in question, rather than
being the actual file name itself
Using the unzip task in .86, even with verbose=false the unzip command
is echoing one line per file when nant is called by my teamcity agent.
This is resulting in tons of extra fluff in our logs. How can I avoid
having unzip outputting so much logging?
test.bat failed itself with error code 1
remember the environment that the bat file is executing under as it regards to
paths, etc.

Steve,
You can spawn the installation, and then wait for it to finish.
For example:
exec spawn=true pidproperty=install.pid
My original vbs was intended to be more generic, that's why I didn't
want to embed it in the vbs to start (and I wanted to be more cross
platform) but I've modified it now to wait for the specific file to
exist. Note this uses Wscript as I call it with cscript.exe to make it
all nant friendly

You need to use the nodeindex parameter of xmlpeek to control which instance
you are returning. However, I’m not quite sure how you’d find out how many
instances there are to loop through dynamically. Maybe some if condition on
the returned value and a loop of sorts

Ok, I'm trying to do some simple expressions to manipulate some values,

its not an expression. How do I reference the property 'position' here

We moved from CC.net to teamcity with very good success. CC.net was

In our setups, source control is handled by teamcity mostly, but some
scripts have source checkout in
another agent to work
on that branch.
