I have cruise control with Nant running on windows 7 machine .Builds work just fine. But I have a task for which i need to start a batch process which opens up an application window (directX based application) and perform some tasks. But this nant task fails all the time , the very first call for device getdevicecaps fails .this thing works on XP. Please help!
And yes if it helps, I am unable to add any publisher tasks to the cruise control server configuration .

    This was not the answer you were looking for.

    That’s because Windows 7, Vista, and the 2008+ flavors basically shut down the ability to open an interactive window from a service completely. Why? Because opening up a UI and presenting it is a huge security risk — someone with a lower amount of credentials could in many scenarios do tasks they weren’t otherwise allowed to do.

    AFAIK, the only way you can get around this is to rewrite the task.
