Re: [WiX-users] Problem with Including under TFS 2010 Build Agent

I also wondered if ingress/egress costs made build/release as a service work as well. If the whole build system was "in the cloud" (to use the new buzzwords) then having the output be a final setup (compressed and delivered online) made a lot of sense to me. But, Ted, don't let my random thoughts

To be honest I only visited the site and didn't actually try it out.  On one hand I've often wondered what kind of Build And Release As A Service projects could catch on.   But I don't know if it ever could because why would I upload my files to a third party with now TOS in place. --- Christo

[WiX-users] Problem with Including under TFS 2010 Build Agent
