MSBuild actually integrates quite nicely with VS projects and solutions.  Using 
your example below, you should be able to do this:

  MSBuild.exe /p:Configuration=Beta_EN /p:Platform=x64 MyProj.wixproj

You should be able to do this for any SLN file, in fact... it generally "just 
works."

Subject: [WiX-users] Candle/Light output to output window within dev studio?

Hi,

We automate our daily builds by running devenv on the command line
(instead of using MsBuild, because it looks like a big learning curve).
For example:

devenve.exe /build "Beta_EN|x64" /project "MyProj.wixproj" /out "MyProj.log"

We've got a lot of WiX source files in our installers, and we've got
dozens of configurations, so running candle and light from a script and
also maintaining a project for votive seems error prone.

WiX works just fine this way, except that we get no errors and warnings
in the standard output (the output window when running dev studio GUI).
This means that logging of WiX errors and warnings are not working.

Is there a switch to display errors and warnings in both the output
window and the Errors/Warnings pane?

Or is there a better way for me to do this?

  - Brian
