Yes, possible. Just tried it myself and used the Build output script from visual studio. Additionally I added quotes around Wix Candle + Light path and removed obj\Debug\Product.Generated.wxs and the Candle output obj\Debug\Product.Generated.wixobj. Then building from batch works fine. Maybe try it once from within Votive and once from batch and diff the 2 msis. They should be the same.
Regarding Product.Generated.wxs + wixobj I assume (actutally just a guess!) this is some automatically generated code when using WiX to use files built from the same Visual Studio solutions. 2011/5/31 Francisco Gabriel Malbrán <fgmalb...@gmail.com>: > Hello Tobias. > I haven't tried it before.
