I've written a MSBuild project a couple of days ago to learn how it works. Looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Project DefaultTargets="Build" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003";> <PropertyGroup> <!-- WiX Toolset output type. See wix.targets for supported values--> <OutputType>package</OutputType> <!-- output name. WiX toolset adds the appropriate extension depending on the output type--> <OutputName>setup</OutputName> <!-- where to store the resulting files --> <OutputPath>output\</OutputPath> <!-- where to find Wix toolset --> <Toolpath>.\tools</Toolpath> <!-- Configuration to build --> <Configuration>Release</Configuration> <!-- localized strings. --> <LocalizedStringFile>setup.wxl</LocalizedStringFile> </PropertyGroup> <!-- WiX compile target expects Compile items. We just compile all .wxs in current directory--> <ItemGroup> <Compile Include="*.wxs" /> </ItemGroup> <!-- WiX link target links WixLibrary items in addition to the compile outputs--> <ItemGroup> <WixLibrary Include="tools/wixca.wixlib" /> </ItemGroup> <!-- Windows Installer Xml Toolset MSBuild targets --> <Import Project="tools\wix.targets" /> </Project> That's all. Save the above script as setup.proj and execute Msbuild setup.proj To do a complete rebuild use Msbuild setup.proj /t:rebuild I've used the latest 2.0 build (2.0.4221.0) for this example. To see what else you can do with the Wix MSBuild targets or if you want to use the Candle, Lit or Light MSBuild tasks directly, look at wix.targets.
