First a disclaimer, I haven't actually done this! VS Solutions are nothing but groups of projects, you can have one solution which has the projects you want to build and another solution that includes the Votive projects that you use with Visual Studio. It's not that hard to create an MSBuild f

The finer points of MSBuild/Team build are getting lost in these replies so it's kind of pointless to continue.VDPROJ and WiX v2 are proper comparisons because both have .xxproj files that are NOT MSBuild files. Whether or not they `support` MSBuild is a non issue.For example to build b

I'm afraid v2 won't cut it for me then. I'm actually using TFS Team Build and I need the project document to be MSBuild also so I can just call the solution build. Using v3 against v2 binaries seems to work though. Bob Arnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Christopher Painter wrote: > I was unde

I have some merge modules that contain thousands of simple `xcopy` files that I'd like developers to maintain. I don't want to use VDPROJ because it's slow as hell and sucks at MSBuild support and I don't want to use InstallShield because it costs too much to give everyone a license. I ca
