Thanks for reply Neil. It's actually not relative path. Its fixed and I know where the source file would go when the c# Solution is build. However at the beginning of the build process this path doesn't exist and created only after completion of first solution build.
If I build both the solutions in separate TFS build projects or from VS all goes well.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Error wile building WiX solution in TFS Build. Are you using relative paths to your source files? IIRC TFS builds output to a different location than a simple msbuild would and that might be causing the problem.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Error wile building WiX solution in TFS Build. Sachin, What error you are getting at the time of compilation from TFS? It seems it file location for msi will not be in the same location.

Hi, I got two projects, a c# project that generates the deployable binaries and WiX project to generate MSI out of the binaries. If I build them separately all work fine. (output location of first project is used as source location in WiX project - wxs file). However when I try to include solutions of both the Project to TFS Build, and try to get MSI in single build run, it fails. The source location given in the WiX file is created only after building the first c# project/solution.. And the compilation of the WiX project happens before the build of first project, this causes compile time error, (source location given in WiX project doesn't exists/files cannot found.) TFSBuild.Proj files looks like : <ItemGroup> <!-- SOLUTIONS --> <SolutionToBuild Include="$(BuildProjectFolderPath)/../../Main/C#Solution.sln"> <Targets></Targets> <Properties></Properties> </SolutionToBuild> <SolutionToBuild Include="$(BuildProjectFolderPath)/../../Main/Package/InstallerSolution. sln"> <Targets></Targets> <Properties></Properties> </SolutionToBuild> </ItemGroup> <ItemGroup> <!-- CONFIGURATIONS --> <ConfigurationToBuild Include="Release|Any CPU"> <FlavorToBuild>Debug</FlavorToBuild> <PlatformToBuild>Any CPU</PlatformToBuild> </ConfigurationToBuild> <ConfigurationToBuild Include="Debug|x86"> <FlavorToBuild>Release</FlavorToBuild> <PlatformToBuild>x86</PlatformToBuild> </ConfigurationToBuild> </ItemGroup> Any clue on this would help.
