#139 Couldn't find referenced assembly ...
Right off, sorry if it was already posted and I didnt' find
the article; if so please respond with a link.
I use <slolution> tag for building our solution on a
Windows XP machine. This solution is developed mostly
on Win2K machines. The difference between these
machines/OS is that framework on XP is installed into
C:\windows\... and on Win2K it is installed into
c:\winnt\... . Because the solution is developed on
Win2K machines the references in the project files point
to c:\winnt\... .
When one opens the solution on the build machine the
references are 'magically' changed and he will see a
correct referece from within the IDE, so the solution
builds just fine there. If I build it with NAnt (on XP
machine), however, I get the error saying that the
c:\winnt\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322
\System.Data.dll could not be found. Truly so because it
is in c:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\.
How can I get around it?
Thank you,
Alexei

Alexei,
What version of NAnt did you test this with ? Can you try
using the latest nightly build
(http://nant.sourceforge.net/nightly/builds) and report back ?
Please attach the project file with which you're having
problems, if the latest nightly does not resolve this issue.
Thanks !

just found that '-defaultframework:net-1.1' fixes it.
but why can't it be taken from registry. As far as I know, am
I wrong?,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework
specifies installation directory in InstallDir key.
I am using 0.84 (which, I believe, is the latest stable).

In NAnt 0.84, the default target framework is .NET Framework
1.0, so if you build file didn't explicitly specifiy the target
framework, the <solution> would build you solution using
the .NET Framework 1.0.
Now, if you specify the -k:net-1.1 option, NAnt actually
retrieves the location of framework assemblies and tools for
the .NET Framework 1.1 from the registry.
From NAnt 0.85 on, the default target framework is the
framework in which you're running NAnt.
The currently NAnt 0.85 nightly build is in lots of aspects
more stable than the NAnt 0.84 release (and definitely the
<solution> task), so I advise you to test the latest nightly
build.
I'll close this report, but don't hesitate to reopen this case if
you can reproduce this issue (meaning, without specifying
the -k:net-1.1 option) using the latest nightly build.
Thanks for the report !
