Yes, that can be done. In fact, I did it last month. Someone knowledgeable with MSBuild would be able to set that up in a short time. In fact, that other project could build all or any combination of lang/bitness you want in one invocation. The rest (of us) buy the book (http://www.amazon.com

If you use $(var.MyProjectName.TargetDir)MyAssemblyName.dll correctly, it will just work. Building with TFS 2010 or later, the Default Template will set OutDir to the Binaries location for all projects. One of the many reasons this is done is for performance--file I/O is one of the biggest tim

Re: [WiX-users] How to detect an environmental variable's value?

Ah. Figured it out. It appears that the syntax of the conditional was incorrect. This works: Note the absence (despite what it says elsewhere in the documentation) of the '$(' around the env.IsTfsBuildAgent. This simple little trick makes it possible to build on either a TFS build agent

If it were me, I'd add something like... < IsTfsBuildAgent Condition=" '$( IsTfsBuildAgent)' == ''">no ... $(DefineConstants); IsTfsBuildAgent =$(IsTfsBuildAgent); To your WixProj. Then you should be able to do: Better yet, you could use SourcePath as a MSBui

[WiX-users] How to detect an environmental variable's value?

I'm trying to set up a wxs script to handle two different conditions, building a setup on a normal developer's machine and building a setup on a TFS build agent. The problem is that the TFS build agent copies the products of a solution to a binaries folder while a normal developer's build does not.

Markus, It appears that the logic against our extra ‘checking’ package was incorrect. We have now included two instances of the same executable, one before all packages and one at the end. The ‘DetectCondition’ for the one at the top is set to always ‘0’, so it will always run on install, and
