installing nant with a batch script

Question

I have a nant build file which numerous users have to run locally. Is there an easy way to automate the process of installing nant/nantcontrib and updating the matching environment variables on a windows system.

I have thought off a solution where a folder containing the nant/contrib files and a batch script is copied to each station. When the batch script is executed the nant dll's should be copied to a meaning full location and the env varialbes should be updated.

Is that the right way to go about this?

thanks / dres

I normally check NAnt into the repos with the source, then have a couple of batch files to the various targets. I know this doesn't exactly answer your question but it possibly solves the underlying problem.

Edit re: comments

my directory structure looks like this:

/src
/lib
/tools/nant
/project.sln
/project.build
/build.bat
/deploy.bat
