Nant and licensed 3rd party controls

I've been having some problems building a project containing licensed grid and graph components from ComponentOne using NAnt. The project built correctly in Visual Studio, but when built with NAnt I got a box saying the component was not licensed.

I've found some others have had similar problems, but no solutions have been posted. I go it working after a lot of trial and error as follows:

1) Use an <exec> task to run the license compiler (lc.exe).
2) Ensure the /target: command does not contain a path.
3) Ensure your <csc> task does not contain a path in its output section.
4) Ensure the licenses file is included in the resources section. This did not work when it was included as an argument with an <arg value="/resource" element.
5) Copy the file to the correct destination directory at the end.

Here's the relevant part of my build file.


<target name="project" description="build project"
depends="..." >


<exec program="C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\bin\LC.exe"
commandline="/target:project.exe
/complist:c:/nantcheckout/project/Properties\
licenses.licx
/outdir:c:/nantbuild /i:c:\nantbuild\C1.Data.2.dll
