The core toolset and the extensions dont depend on VS (unlike building native C++) and are supposed to run in a pure msbuild environment.
-----Original Message----- From: Mark Roden [mailto:mmro...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, July 31, 2009 2:39 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Is there a walkthrough that works for installingdrivers in an MSI, wix v 3 (5120)? I guess so. By the way, the build server does not have visual studio installed, I'm just running directly off of msbuild via the compiler that comes with .NET. I don't know if that functionatlity is supported; I'm going to be installing visual studio on the build server later today, just to test that out.
