Personally I can't wait to see what all this looks like in a couple years. I sit here bleary eyed after a 24 hour coding marathon where I extensively used TFS Service, an on-prem build server and a couple test VM's all hosted on Hyper-V. There are a handful of things I still don't like about all these tools but the capabilities and developer value proposition is amazing.
It's cool that WiX is on those VM's but without ICE validation it's useless. I would never turn off validation... I might as well go back to using InstallShield ( which isn't on their servers despite their relationship ). ---------------------------------------- From: "Bob Arnson" <b...@joyofsetup.com> Sent: Sunday, November 10, 2013 2:10 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Build WiX Projects via msbuild using TFSPreview Hosted Build Servers On 08-Nov-13 09:23, John Cooper wrote: > I know that part of the issue is that some of the ICE stuff (supplied by Microsoft) still depends on VBS. The other part is that CIS departments are loath to give rights to run the Windows Installer Service to not-true-and-not-human administrators. That latter also blocks me from running LUX automatically on my build servers. I can only run it locally. It's a problem with server OSes running non-admin services trying to do per-user installs, which applies both to ICE validation and Lux test runs. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- November Webinars for C, C++, Fortran Developers Accelerate application performance with scalable programming models.
