The name would probably include the Configuration and version information .
However this would be part of a TFS 2010 Build - so passing an argument to MSBuild is supported. Thanks - this is very helpful. -----Original Message----- From: Castro, Edwin G.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Generated MSI Name How do you want to generate your name? This will determine how we change OutputName. OutputName is just a MSBuild property but one that is used by all project types. I believe (but have not verified) that if you build your solution from the command line providing a different value for OutputName you'll end up with all of your projects in that solution with the same name. msbuild sample.sln /p:OutputName=GeneratedName /t:build You'll probably want to define a new custom property in your .wixproj so that you can change only the OutputName in the .wixproj. <Project ...> <PropertyGroup> ... <SetupName>DefaultValue</SetupName> <OutputName>$(SetupName)</OutputName> ... </PropertyGroup> ... </Project> In the sample above I define a new property, SetupName, before OutputName. I use the value of SetupName as the value for OutputName. Note that you'll need to hand edit the .wixproj. Now we should be able to set SetupName on the command line to whatever generated name we want and not affect OutputName for any other projects. msbuild sample.sln /p:SetupName=GeneratedName /t:build This all assumes that the name is generated before the solution begins building.
