[Nant-users] Invalid element <vssget>. Unknown task or datatype.

[Andy E. <an...@eu...>]

 

This appears to be a 1.1 related problem. I had a very similar issue with
the solution task in nant .85 using the dist assemblies on a machine that
only has NET1.1. The solution there was to use the 85RC1 dist to build the
85RC1 source (you can't build 85 with 84). Once I did that solution
magically starts to work.

 

Nonetheless this is what I'm seeing when using 85RC1 built locally with
NET1.1 and NantContrib Dist assemblies.

I tried to build NantContrib using 1.1 and get the following

I try "nant -d:nant.dir=C:\progra~1\nant\bin" but that doesn't work. What am
I missing?
