Hi,
I have to create .msi files for the deployments, and I am using Visual Studio to do so. The solution is a multi-project solution which is being build using Nant Script and MSBuild utility. However, when I build the solution the deployment projects are not build and an .msi is not created. I read some articles on the web mentioning that the format of the set up projects (.vdproj) is not recogonized by MSBuild. Is there a way, I can build the deployment projects using MSBuild? I cannot use MSBuild entirely instead of Nant as MSBuild only supports VSS and TFS as source control softwares and none of them is used in the environment right now. I want to build the complete solution using the MSBuild utility.
Thanks
Bhushan
