Sorry I'm kind of new to this. Is that the msbuild file for the
specific project correct? Is there a way to edit that in VS/TFS?

What I did was set a property called <DefineConstants> in my MSBuild
file. Then, when candle is executed, the WixTasks convert that
semicolon separated list of variables into -d<name>=<value> when passed
into the candle command line. The only thing you might have to do is
change the env. prefix to var., if nant was setting an environment
variable for you.

Thanks, I've gotten the wxs files updated, and added them to the
projects in TFS. How do you handle the source path for the files being
added to the msi? Before I used a nant variable in the wix as part of
the path. Is there a similar way to do this using MSBuild? It looks
like the path will change based on whether or not it is a debug or
release build.

I just moved my whole team from v2 to v3.
In general, the update went really smoothly. You can use wixcop.exe to
update all of the xml for you. Wixcop doesn't, however remove
shortnames, which might cause you some headaches. I went through all my
xml and manually deleted all the short names.
What might cause you some extra work, depending on how you use v2, is
that v3 runs msi validation as part of light. We found a bunch of
msival errors in our MSIs when we went to v3, and it took some time to
work through them. This is a good thing, though, since you have
essentially raised the quality bar of your installers by doing this.
We use votive with VS Team Suite, and we haven't had any problems yet.

I was thinking of trying out votive. We are using Visual Studio Team
Edition for Developers with Team Foundation Server. We are also using
WIX v2 for the msi. I was wondering, is Wix v3 stable enough to use if
we are deploying our next version of our product in about 3-5 months.
Has anyone used votive with team foundation server? Are there any
problems to be expected when moving from wix v2 to wix v3?
