cruise control -how to execute batch file in cruise control and how to publish in different folder using cruise control

Answer 1

The error you are getting with the batch file might be resolved by using cmd.exe as executable and "/c D:\DITBUILT.bat" as arguments?

Answer 2

I would recommend using cruise control with NANT.

<tasks>
      <nant>
        <executable>C:\Nant\Nant0.86\bin\nant.exe</executable>
        <baseDirectory>.</baseDirectory>
        <buildFile>C:\NANT_SCRIPTS\build.xml</buildFile>
        <targetList>
          <target>YourProject_Publish</target>
        </targetList>
        <buildTimeoutSeconds>2000</buildTimeoutSeconds>
      </nant>
    </tasks>

In your build.xml file you can use NANT commands to execute your bat files or pretty much do anything else. It supports the 3.5 framework as well.

 <exec program="C:\NANT_SCRIPTS\publish\YourProject.bat" />
    <delete dir="${web01}\yourSite.com\WebFolder" />
    <copy todir="${web01}\yourSite.com\WebFolder" >
      <fileset basedir="C:\CruiseControl\ProjectFolders\YourProject\Website" >
        <include name="*.aspx" />
        <include name="*.config" />
        <include name="*.master" />
        <include name="*.asax" />
        <include name="*.ascx" />
        <include name="*.sitemap" />
      </fileset>
    </copy>
