In your existing target, where you are using HeatDirectory, you could try
something similar to:
<ItemGroup>
<GeneratedFile Include="$(IntermediateOutputPath)All.wxs" />
</ItemGroup>
<DateCompare LHS="%(GeneratedFile.ModifiedTime)" RHS="$(ReleaseTimestamp)">
<Output TaskParameter="Result" PropertyName="UpToDate" />
</DateCompare>
<Message Text="UpToDate: $(UpToDate)" />
<HeatDirectory NoLogo="true" ToolPath="$(WixToolPath)" VerboseOutput="true"
AutogenerateGuids="true"
GenerateGuidsNow="false" OutputFile="$(IntermediateOutputPath)All.wxs"
SuppressFragments="true" Directory="Z:\$(Version)\Data\"
ComponentGroupName="ProductComponents"
DirectoryRefId="CommonData" PreprocessorVariable="var.SourceDataFolder"
SuppressCom="true" SuppressRootDirectory="true" SuppressRegistry="true"
Condition =" '$(UpToDate)' != 'Equal' "/>
<Touch Files="$(IntermediateOutputPath)All.wxs"
Time="$(ReleaseTimestamp)"
Condition=" '$(UpToDate)' != 'Equal' "/>
<XSLTransformation XslInputPath="AddDiskId-Base.xslt"
XmlInputPaths="$(IntermediateOutputPath)All.wxs"
OutputPaths="$(IntermediateOutputPath)%(BU.Folder).wxs"
Parameters="<Parameter Name='FolderName' Value='%(BU.Folder)'/>"
Condition=" ('$(UpToDate)' != 'Equal') Or
(Exists('$(IntermediateOutputPath)%(BU.Folder).wxs') == False) "/>
<!-- Compare $(IntermediateOutputPath) to $(OutputFolder) and only copy if
checksum is different -->
<CompareAndCopyAsNeeded
SourceFile="$(IntermediateOutputPath)%(BU.Folder).wxs"
DestinationFile="$(OutputPath)%(BU.Folder).wxs" />
Note, DateCompare is a simple custom MSBuild task which compares to dates for
equality giving results of <, =, or >. If your Heat output is under version
control, you may have to create an additional intermediate file to store
timestamps info on. I also broke apart my project such that one common project
does the HeatDirectory task, and all the transforms. I then conditionally copy
the output of this stub project to the installer directories if and only if the
contents of the transformed files have changed (another custom build task, MD5
compare and copy if different or missing). The application sub-installers then
just reference the stub project and consume the output.

can you explain with more details how to make this with MSBuild?and how to
record the timestamp, now I'm using TFS to store my files.Thanks
