Re: [NAnt-users] NAnt problem after upgrading to .NET 4.0

Hi,

I have experienced this problem over the last couple of days and thought it
may be useful if I documented my experiences.  I can reproduce the problem
faithfully on my machine but have had little luck in debugging it.  If
someone wants to give me some guidance on debugging then I am more than
happy to help out.

I am running on Windows 7 Ultimate on a 64-bit laptop.  I have been using
NAnt 0.86 happily for a long time but now need to build projects on .NET 4.0
so I downloaded NAnt 0.91 Alpha 2.  This build of NAnt crashes every time I
try to execute it.  The reported error is as follows:

      Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: The type in
itializer for 'NAnt.Console.ConsoleStub' threw an exception. --->
System.Securit
y.SecurityException: Request for the permission of type
'System.Security.Permiss
ions.FileIOPermission, mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,

         at NAnt.Console.ConsoleStub.Main(String[] args)

I read the original bug report which suggested that the problem would be
solved by rebuilding NAnt from source on the machine you want it to run on.
That worked for me using the following steps:

1. Download and extract NAnt 0.86 to a clean directory.
2. Download the source code for the nightly build of NAnt dated 2010-07-15.
3. Use NAnt 0.86 to build the source code downloaded in step 2. Note that
the build will fail because the tests for the ReadRegistryTask reference a
registry location that doesn't exist on Win7 x64.  However, the binaries
will have been build by this point and they should be usable.

Hope someone finds this useful.

Regards,

Mark
