Setup project cannot be built with msbuild

FinalBuilder Discussion

Hi there,  I'm looking into using MSBuild instead of having to install VS2010 on my build machine.  I'm getting the message that setup projects need Visual studio installed to be built.

Is there a workaround for this somehow?  I've also heard that they are removing the setup projects from the next version of Visual Studio anyways so maybe now is the time to switch to installshield or WIX?

Thanks

Hi,

Yep, unfortunately building setup projects is not supported by MSBuild, nothing we can do about that one Paul.
