I'm gonna try and cover the two OS's here so be kind.
First things first, goto http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi and download the appropriate archive (zip) file: apache-ant-[VERSION NUMBER HERE]-bin.zip

Andy?............. Go celebrate mate and leave this nerdy stuff alone for a while ;)
Don't worry Kev, the alcohol hasn't stopped .. i'm just slowly building up to prepare my body for some abusive drinking come the weekend
If he was a real nerd he would have proposed with a build.xml file :) I'll add this to my wiki!
In my nerd days, I once asked my girlfriend on a date using the Wizard from Microsoft Agent :P

If Andy was a real nerd he wouldn't be able to approach a girl to start with ;)
I did consider building a CFC that would except her answer as a boolean and only return it to me as a true value ... no chance of unexpected bugs then
@Critter, easier to explain in a post :o)

Here's a windows installer for Ant that I made: http://code.google.com/p/winant/
I hope it's useful, and let me know if you'd like to develop it further.

@suresh I haven't been on Windows for a while. First off have you tried a reboot and checked that the variable paths were saved?
@suresh, I was having these problems too, I don't think changing the environmental variables takes effect until you reboot. Try setting them in the instance of the command line prompt you have running.
@Andy, thanks for this, I was muddling through the Apache Ant docs and getting nowwhere, can be frustrating as I don't even want ANT, I just want what it will build for me!
