Thanks for your reply John. I tried to build bootstrapper by doing msbuild bootstrapper.xml, but I am getting error: error MSB4036: The "GenerateBootstrapper" task was not found.
My bootstrapper.xml looks as below: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003";> <ItemGroup> <BootstrapperFile Include="Microsoft.Net.Framework.2.0"> <ProductName>.NET Framework 2.0</ProductName> </BootstrapperFile> <BootstrapperFile Include=" Microsoft.Windows.Installer.3.1"> <ProductName>Windows Installer 3.1</ProductName> </BootstrapperFile> <BootstrapperFile Include="Microsoft.JSharp.2.0 "> <ProductName>Visual J# redistributable</ProductName> </BootstrapperFile> <BootstrapperFile Include="Microsoft.Sql.Server.Express.1.0"> <ProductName>SQL Server 2005 Express Edition</ProductName> </BootstrapperFile> </ItemGroup> <Target Name="Bootstrapper"> <GenerateBootstrapper ApplicationFile="Test_Dot_NET.msi" ApplicationName="Test_Dot_NET" BootstrapperItems="@(BootstrapperFile)" OutputPath="bin" ComponentsLocation="Relative" Culture="pt-PT" Path="C:\WIX\Test_Dot_NET\release" /> </Target> </Project> Please advise.
