<regsvcs> Task

This tasks provides the same functionality as the regsvcs tool provided in the .NET SDK.

Parameters

Attribute	Type	Description	Required
assembly	file	The source assembly file.	True
action	ActionType	Defines the action to take with the assembly. The default is `FindOrCreate`.	False
application	string	Specifies the name of the COM+ application to either find or create.	False
componentsonly	bool	Configures components only; ignores methods and interfaces. The default is false.	False
existingapp	bool	Expect an existing application. The default is false.	False
existingtlb	bool	Uses an existing type library. The default is false.	False
noreconfig	bool	Do not reconfigure an existing target application. The default is false.	False
partition	string	Specifies the name or id of the COM+ application to either find or create.	False
tlb	file	Specifies the type library file to install.	False
failonerror	bool	Determines if task failure stops the build, or is just reported. The default is true.	False
if	bool	If true then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is true.	False
timeout	int	The maximum amount of time the application is allowed to execute, expressed in milliseconds. Defaults to no time-out.	False
unless	bool	Opposite of `if`. If false then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is false.	False
verbose	bool	Determines whether the task should report detailed build log messages. The default is false.	False

Framework-configurable parameters

Nested Elements:

Attribute	Type	Description	Required
exename	string	The name of the executable that should be used to launch the external program.	False
managed	ManagedExecution	Specifies whether the external program should be treated as a managed application, possibly forcing it to be executed under the currently targeted version of the CLR.	False
useruntimeengine	bool	Deprecated. Specifies whether the external program is a managed application which should be executed using a runtime engine, if configured. The default is false.	False

<arg>

The command-line arguments for the external program.

Represents a command-line argument.

When passed to an external application, the argument will be quoted when appropriate. This does not apply to the line parameter, which is always passed as is.

Parameters

Attribute	Type	Description	Required
dir	directory	The value for a directory-based command-line argument; will be replaced with the absolute path of the directory.	False
file	file	The name of a file as a single command-line argument; will be replaced with the absolute filename of the file.	False
if	bool	Indicates if the argument should be passed to the external program. If true then the argument will be passed; otherwise, skipped. The default is true.	False
line	string	List of command-line arguments; will be passed to the executable as is.	False
path	<path>	The value for a PATH-like command-line argument; you can use `:` or `;` as path separators and NAnt will convert it to the platform's local conventions, while resolving references to environment variables.	False
unless	bool	Indicates if the argument should not be passed to the external program. If false then the argument will be passed; otherwise, skipped. The default is false.	False
value	string	A single command-line argument; can contain space characters.	False

Nested Elements:

<path>

Sets a single command-line argument and treats it like a PATH - ensures the right separator for the local platform is used.

</path>

Examples

A single command-line argument containing a space character.
```
<arg value="-l -a" />
    
```
Two separate command-line arguments.
```
<arg line="-l -a" />
    
```
A single command-line argument with the value \dir;\dir2;\dir3 on DOS-based systems and /dir:/dir2:/dir3 on Unix-like systems.
```
<arg path="/dir;/dir2:\dir3" />
    
```
