[WiX-users] Error wile building WiX solution in TFS Build.

[Sachin Dubey (Tata Consultancy Services)]

Hi,
I got two projects, a c# project that generates the deployable binaries and WiX 
project to generate MSI out of the binaries.
If I build them separately all work fine. (output location of first project is 
used as source location in WiX project - wxs file).
However when I try to include solutions of both the Project to TFS Build, and 
try to get MSI in single build run, it fails.

The source location given in the WiX file is created only after building the 
first c# project/solution. And the compilation of the WiX project happens 
before the build of first project, this causes compile time error, (source 
location given in WiX project doesn't exists/files cannot found.)

TFSBuild.Proj files looks like :


  <ItemGroup>
    <!--  SOLUTIONS
    -->
    <SolutionToBuild 
Include="$(BuildProjectFolderPath)/../../Main/C#Solution.sln">
      <Targets></Targets>
      <Properties></Properties>
    </SolutionToBuild>
    <SolutionToBuild 
Include="$(BuildProjectFolderPath)/../../Main/Package/InstallerSolution.sln">
      <Targets></Targets>
      <Properties></Properties>
    </SolutionToBuild>

  </ItemGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <!--  CONFIGURATIONS
     -->
    <ConfigurationToBuild Include="Release|Any CPU">
      <FlavorToBuild>Debug</FlavorToBuild>
      <PlatformToBuild>Any CPU</PlatformToBuild>
    </ConfigurationToBuild>
    <ConfigurationToBuild Include="Debug|x86">
      <FlavorToBuild>Release</FlavorToBuild>
      <PlatformToBuild>x86</PlatformToBuild>
    </ConfigurationToBuild>

  </ItemGroup>


Any clue on this would help.


Thanks
Sachin
