Hello. I recently discovered and installed WinAnt because I was thrilled at the prospect of a UI that could help me with the Ant/XML portions of my DITA transformations. However, the various versions that I've downloaded from sourceforge all feature options that I can't turn off. They also search for DITA and Java files that apparently aren't where they're supposed to be, and I have yet to genreate output successfully with any of them. (Although, interestingly enough, WinAnt can generate a PDF from the demo files that are bundled with the DITA OT.)
 
Further, the setup file thta is associated with the Google group page only gives me an "Error opening file for writing" message when I try to run it.
 
WinAnt holds so much potential that I don't want to give up on it just yet, especially when other users appear to be experiencing success, and this forum seems like as good a place as any other to seek assistance. I'll gladly make a donation if I can get this thing working! :)
 
Many thanks...
 
Scott

Not sure I follow you well. Thus tools is used to install Ant on PC
for packaging JS and CSS.
You might be talking about another WinAnt tool.
