&nbsp;I'm using FB&nbsp;version 6.3.0.1916, and I'm using the MS Build project Build tool to build a web solution .

When we manually build the web solution, it also creates a setup.exe file in the setup\release subfolder of the project, which does not seem to happen when I'm using FB to do the build.  
  
Is there something that I need to set somewhere to create the setup.exe file?

Hi,   
  
 Two things to note:   
  
 a) MSBuild does not support building web setup projects, you’ll need to use the Visual Studio .NET action.   
 b) Make sure you have set the setup project to build for the configuration that you’re building in FinalBuilder (Visual Studio -\> Build -\> Configuration Manager).   
  
 Regards,   
 Paul.

You’ll need to use the Compilers -\> Build [VS.Net](http://VS.Net) Solution action to build the setup project.
