Hi David, You are correct, the build servers install of VS2005 will have to be the same as your dev environment so any service packs or 3rd party assemblies you use will need to be installed on the build server. You can also find some more info on the following blog http://blogs.msdn.com/anutthara/archive/2006/01/05/509606.aspx Bevan

Depending on how I go with this, I might look at WiX as well.

At the end of the TFSBuild.proj file we have added the following XML to run devenv via command line and copy the file. <Target Name="AfterCompile"> <Exec Command=""c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\devenv" "$(SolutionRoot)\SomeFolderName\TheSolution.sln" /Build "Release|Mixed Platforms""/> <Copy SourceFiles="$(SolutionRoot)\SomeFolderName\SetupProjectName.Setup\Relea se\PackageName.msi" DestinationFolder="$(OutDir)\packages" /> </Target> Bevan ________________________________ 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.
