May be I am not getting.. Please guide me .. Given below is my situation..
- We have completed MSBuild based batch files to complete the number of task to build developer assemblies, Build biztalk assemblies, Deploying Biztalk assemblies inside the Biztalk server. - Now we want to package all these MSBuild based stuff into Wix package to acheive the same functionality inside the Wix. - I am assuming Inside the Wix I can call the <Cmd.. BuildDevAssmblies.bat . > something like this so that it will call the batch file so that all the MSBuild functionality acheived inside the Wix. - When I am trying to call the Custom Action Command prompt inside the Wix it is not working.. - Am I missing something very obivous.. ?? Is my approach is correct ?? Can I get more guidance to complete my task. Thanks in advance.
