Hi David,

 

If you are looking at a quick and easy way of creating a deployment package 
using WiX you can download and try a 3rd party WiX front end tool such as 
WixAware and IndigoRose Setup Factory for Windows.

 

http://www.indigorose.com/setup-factory-for-windows-installer/

www.wixaware.com <http://www.wixaware.com/> 

 

They both output wix scripts but IndigoRose is more stable. It is a fairly 
simple task of integrating the building of these scripts into your build 
processes.

 

 

Cheers

Dave

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.

 

Cheers,

 

David
