Hi Aaron,


I have tried that but unfortunately because Nant has so many DLLs and files it 
uses through various directories, when I package the lot up in the BInary table 
I get an error.



I guess I will need an additional custom action.  



Thank you fory our help, I really appreciate it.



-Mike

RemoveFiles is a standard action and would only removes files within 
components that are marked for removal. What you are asking for would 
require an additional custom action. Why not store the executables 
that you want to run in the Binary table and call them from there? 
They never get installed and they are only used when you call them.
