Hi Matthew,
I just install WiX 3.0 on the build server. That includes the targets file. I also install WiX 3.0 on the dev machine which gives me wixproj files (MSBuild format) and a good container in Visual Studio for wix files. If I have to use any of the tools (dark etc) to reverse engineer stuff I end up just copy and pasting in that code.

There are a few GUIs for WiX. InstallAware have cool application called WixAware (http://www.wixaware.com/) that provides a front end for creating WiX deployment projects and merge modules. Version 1.1 is a little buggy and only supports WiX 2.0. They have mentioned on their forums that WixAware 2.0 beta 1 will be available this week. Also check out WixEdit: http://wixedit.sourceforge.net/ Automating the build of the WiX deployment projects can be performed using Nant or MSBuild. It is a two step process of first calling candle.exe <wixscript> and then linking all the bits with light.exe <wixscript obj> Cheers Dave ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Clint Colefax Sent: Tuesday, 5 June 2007 7:30 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [OzTFS] Setup Projects & Team Build I've used install shield, but was actually thinking of having a look at wix. You can build the VS Setups with msbuild, but it's pretty nasty, basically, you shell out the command line to devenv.exe with the correct parameters to build the installer project. It's not nice, but it works.

We've been having some problems with the two current solutions from MS: 1. Visual Studio Setup & Deployment projects a. Not supported by MSBuild. You have to do the <Exec> hack and cross your fingers. 2. WiX projects a. No GUI, Documentation & samples are thin.
