this is my taskdef
<taskdef name="nsis" classname="net.sf.nsisant.Task">
<classpath location="lib/nsisant-1.2.jar"/>
</taskdef>
my target is :
<target name="installer" depends="deployZip">
<nsis script="${deployInstallWorkDir}/install.nsi" verbosity="4">
<define name="PROD_BUILD_NUMBER" value="${build.number}"/>
</nsis>
</target>
I have a workaround calling the makensis as an exec task but any suggestions to have it woking as a task would be appreciated. This is the first time I have used nsis so if I have missed something obvious be gentle with me :)
Thanks
