How to get the path to NUnit nunit-console.exe

Question

I am trying to make a Nant script while everything is going well, but I do not want to put the files on the hard drive. This is good and good, until I have to execute nunit-console.exe, which I cannot do. What I have found so far concerns:

<target name="test">
      <property name="windows-path" value="${string::to-lower(environment::get-variable('PATH'))}"/>
      <property name="nunit-in-path" value="${string::contains(windows-path, 'nunit')}"/>
      <echo message="${nunit-in-path}"/>
</target>

But this fails every time, so I would like to know a couple of things:

• What does string::to-lower(environment::get-variable('PATH'))it really do?
• How can I do this so that it does not break regardless of which version of windows you are using or where nunit-console.exe is located? (For example, I have NUnit in Program Files (x86) on my PC, but in Program Files on my laptop).
