RE: [NAntC-Dev] msm task property issues...

Jim, 
  That seems to work well.  I can wait a little while on the search stuff, I
created that one msm with Wise :-)

  I'm trying to validate my msm files with orca and I've run into a small
problem:  apparently an empty FeatureComponents table is required in a merge
module (at least that's what orca says).  I used the table task to create
the empty table, and it wasn't there.  Then I noticed the line in nant
'Dropping unused tables'.  Hmmmm...  I think this may be removing this
table.  How can this be solved? ;-)

  Also, I have a component loading an exe, a chm and a text file.  Orca is
reporting 'It should have a language specified in the Language column' for
the chm and text file.  Shouldn't this happen by default, or should we use
<forceid> to fill this in?

Here is the orca report:
ICEM04	ERROR	An empty FeatureComponents table is required in a Merge
Module.
ICE03	ERROR	_Validation table: Data in KeyTAble column is incorrect;
Table: Control, Column: Dialog_, Key(s): LicenseAgreementDlg.AgreementText

And here is my build file

Hey John,

I applied two of the three patches... thanks!  

I am holding off on the search patch because I want to redesign how
that part of the task works.  I want to add support for file, app,
ini, and registry searches.

Other than that, i added a <summaryinformation> element so that you
can specifically define the information in the summary information
stream.  By default, the summary information stream will still get
populated by various properties (ProductName, Manufacturer, etc) if
they're defined.  Think of the <summaryinformation> element as a way
to override those values, if you want.

To go along with the summary information thing, I changed the task so
that <properties> isn't a required element.  This could use some more
testing (if a directories or components element is defined and
properties isn't), but it should work.

anyway, hope that helps

Jim
