Re: Running a bat file

Hi,

At first glance, the reason why it freezes is because it looks like
the batch file is waiting for user input that NAnt isn't providing.

I'm sorry, I have to ask.  Why are you running a batch file from a
NAnt build file?  Seems like overkill to me, unless you have a
specific need for it.

Thanks,
Ryan
