Re: [WiX-users] Best way to invoke Wix from a TFS build workflow?

2011-09-23 Thread John Robbins
Hi John, Sorry for the misunderstanding. What my MSBuild files do is pull in Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.ProcessComponents.dll, which has a bunch of MSBuild tasks in it. The key task is GetBuildProperties where you can have it set a few properties through OutProperty elements. Here's the rel

John, I got that, but how would you invoke the build task from a Workflow based build, rather than a MSBuild-based build? You're right, Austin is pretty close. WE have a pretty big .Net community in our area too, not sure why we seem to always get bypassed for anything substantial. Joh

[WiX-users] Build vs rebuild with wix

2011-09-23 Thread Mark Modrall
We're just moving up from Wix 2.0 to wix 3.5. In Wix 2.0, we always did a rebuild on the solution (I presume because the people who came before me didn't think wix would be able to differentiate whether anything changed and needed rebuilding). Now with Wix 3.5 I thought I'd ask whether the wix

[WiX-users] How does order of controls in dialog XML affect dialog behavior?

2011-09-23 Thread Gary Gocek
Is there some info on how WIX 3.5.2519.0 dialog behavior is affected by the order in which the control elements are written in the XML? For example, I had a problem with my Next button not being the default button, even when it was the only control on the dialog marked as "default". I fixed the pr

Hi John (Bergman :) ) As I mentioned all my build number stuff is part of your normal C#/VB/C++ .CS/VB/VCXPROJ files. Once you've edited your project files to create the version numbers targets (see the example I included), you'll just tell TFS Build to build your solution and the build numbers
