I agree
The problem is that I can't be sure people will have Nant on their system, so I
have to make sure it gets dropped.
Aaron mentioned I would need an additional custom action - any other
suggestions or does that look like the main contender?

Ps Thanks again for your help.

[please keep wix-users on the thread so people know the answer]
That isn’t an install. It is *almost* an install and an uninstall with a bunch
of work tossed in the middle. What it really sounds like you have is a batch
file:
xcopy /chezy \\source\location C:\target\location\
pushd C:\target\location
nant
popd
rd /s/q C:\target\location

Hi Rob,
Yes that's right.
I know it sounds weird. Basically my boss wants me to drop Nant onto the
system and teh custom action executes Nant which takes care of a lot of stuff,
and then at the end he wants Nant and its associated files to be deleted.
Is this possible?
Thanks for your reply,
-Mike

Uhh, I must be misunderstanding something. Do you really want to install
something, run a CustomAction then delete everything you installed?

Hi Guys,
I am dropping Nant and a series of related files onto the target machine and
then executing Nant using a custom action (all works fine). My problem is
that I need to clean all the files off afterwards. Is there a clean way to
do this without me having to resort to a custom action that executed a
program which deletes all the files?
I tried but alas this is not legal.
Please help.
