Hi David, The setup projects aren't MSBuild files so Team Build can't build them unless you use the Exec task on devenv.com (unfortunately). WiX can take a while to get your head around but it has the upside that it is suppoted by MSBuild (you will need to install WiX on your build server).
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Prior, David Sent: Monday, 3 September 2007 9:25 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [OzTFS] Building MSI's using TFS Build Server Hi, I have several projects (ASP.Net and WinForms) that we build MSI's for deployment. I have just migrated these projects into TFS (was using Source Safe) and am now setting up the Build Server to run automatic builds. The problem I have at the moment is that the deployment projects are not generating an MSI file, or at least I can't find the file generated? I have checked that the build configuration in Visual Studio includes the deployment projects in its configuration, and I can manually build the deployment project to create an MSI, so I know that the project compiles successfully. Am I missing something here or has anyone had success in building deployment projects to create MSI's using TFS Build Server? I am now investigating WiX, not sure what it's all about yet.
