I'm kind of a NAnt freak (a Nantosaurus, if you will). In the past few weeks I've bene doing a lot of automated deployments using NAnt. The more I do certain things, the more I realize I can create NAnt scripts that will do them for me. Especially things that are required to be done numerous times. Like, installing Community Server. I've found that the MSI's work, but sometimes I don't feel like doing things using an MSI. Things that, like the process of installing and re-installing CS, have lots of components that may or may not need to be done during each installation process. This weekend I got sick of repeating the CS installation process over and over again so I decided to write a NAnt script that would install or uninstall Community Server on my computer, from start to finish (and back again).

 

Since it helps me, I figured it would help you, so feel free to download it, make improvements, share and share alike, and so on.
