Environment variables

Hi,

I'm using ant to build visual studio solutions (simple command line with 
the <exec> task).

We have 2 versions of visual studio .NET (unfortunately, we have to 
maintain those 2 version).

So, before running ant to build the solution, we have to set up specific 
environment variables for
the version of .NET we are using (for those who know .NET, we just call 
vsvars32.bat)

When I integrate the call to vsvars32.bat to set the variables (<exec> 
task again), the env-vars are not persistant, meaning
that when the exec task to build the solutions is called, the environment 
variables are simply not set and
the solution would not build. we have to call vcvars32.bat outside of ant, 
and then it works.

Is there something i am missing or why do the variables disappear from one 
exec task to the other? Can
someone suggest what can be done?

Thanks in advance
