Summary: Pre- and Post-build events
Initial Comment:
just one thing I realy need is to run some command
line stuff before and after WIX project Build. So,
that would be really great to see in next Votive build
something like Pre- and Post-build events in C#
projects into Votive!

------ FOR VOTIVE USERS -------
I can give you an advice how to hack it until the normal implementation.
I have added following code into my .wixproj file :
<!--
PrepareForBuild target overrides PrepareForBuild WIX target with
addition
the command execution in PreBuild time. This is temporal solution while
usual
Pre- and Post-Build Events woun't be implemented in next WiX version.
-->
<Target Name="PreBuildEvent">
<Exec Command="PreBuildEvent.bat" />
</Target>
<Target Name="PostBuildEvent">
<Exec Command="PostBuildEvent.bat" />
</Target>
<PropertyGroup>
<BuildDependsOn>PreBuildEvent;PrepareForBuild;Compile;Link;Lib;PostBuildEvent;</BuildDependsOn>
</PropertyGroup>
and added 2 batch files into a project. It works.
------- FOR VOTIVE DEVELOPERS -------
Tip for WiX project developers: I'm working on VSIP package for custom
language and it's very simple to add addintional PropertyPage with UI for
Pre- and Post-Build event. Then add something like that into your project
template:
<PropertyGroup>
<PreBuildEvent></PreBuildEvent>
<PostBuildEvent></PostBuildEvent>
<RunPostBuildEvent>Always</RunPostBuildEvent>
</PropertyGroup>
and then something like that into your targets file:
<PropertyGroup>
<BuildDependsOn>PreBuildEvent;Compile;PostBuildEvent</BuildDependsOn>
</PropertyGroup>
<Target Name="Build" DependsOnTargets="$(BuildDependsOn)">
<Message Text="Build" />
</Target>
<Target Name="PreBuildEvent">
<Exec Command="$(PreBuildEvent)" Condition=" '$(PreBuildEvent)'
!= ''
"/>
</Target>
<Target Name="PostBuildEvent">
<Exec Command="$(PostBuildEvent)" Condition="
'$(PostBuildEvent)' != ''
"/>
</Target>
If it's not clear enoungh just drop me a letter - I'll try to help you.

I would like to 'vote' for this one, too. Currently I am using makefile
projects to build Wix installers. It would be nice to use Votive but have
the ability to run (especially) pre-build commandline commands like with a
makefile.
