Not sure if anyone else has encountered this, but with Wix 3.6.1518.0 when I
added a solution to TFS source control it did not update the WixProj correctly,
and hence everytime I open the solution I get a message telling me that the
project is not under source control, and whether or not I wanted to use the
Solution bindings.
I went back to look at a wixproj project that does not have the error, and I
was able to manually fix this by changing the WixProj manually and checking it
in. The changes that were needed are as follows:
<SccProjectName>SAK</SccProjectName>
<SccProvider>SAK</SccProvider>
<SccAuxPath>SAK</SccAuxPath>
<SccLocalPath>SAK</SccLocalPath>
The project has these elements as being blank when it prompts for the source
control binding.

Open the solution up and click properties on the merge module project. Go to
the build events tab then type your command into the pre-build event command
line.
I still wouldn't do it though. This type of dynamic authoring frequently masks
up stream problems. What should have been a build break will end up being a
runtime break.

Alright. In this case how would you run a program to add all the files in a
given directory to the MSI? Before we had an EXE that generated a merge module
of files based on a directory. Could this hook in somehow?

The simplest way is to use Votive to generate a .SLN / .WIXPROJ and then add
the sln configuration | platform to to the build parameters in the build
definition. You shouldn't have to do any customizations in workflow
as the Default Template will work out of the box. Passing a
ProductVersion property takes a little bit more work on the msbuild side (
build parameters and preprocessor definitions in the wixproj and wixs ) but it
doesn't require any workflow changes.

I need to build some MSIs with Wix during our TFS build. Our current TFS build
is using the Windows Workflow XAML files to declare the build logic.
What's the best way to invoke Wix from there? Directly invoking the process
from an activity? Going down to a powershell script and calling it from
there? Are there any custom Wix activities to use?
