What is the best tool for build automation for a one-man software shop? [closed]

Question

I am building Windows apps for a few clients. I read Joel on Software and took the Joel Test and realized I don't quite measure up. One place I am lacking is automated builds. What should I use to have automated builds? I have Windows apps that use .NET 1.1, 2.0, and 3.5. Also, I need to be able to build my .vdproj to create MSI's. I am looking for something that is free and would work well for a one-man team.

Answer 1

CruiseControl.Net and NAnt are the standard tools (and open source too), so there will be a lot of community support available. MSBuild is now open source, too

It will be quite a lot of work to set it all up, but it will be very powerful and have lots of room for growth too.
