I don't think team build will build msi's for you natively. We use installshield, and they have provided a build task to build msi's from the project files, however, if I had my time over, I would have looked at WiX.

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.
