How to auto generating setup file while check-in the code in

Question

How do I integrate InstallShield/Wix/IsWix with TFS? I wish to auto generate setup files during successful TFS checkin/release? I am comparing InstallShield with Wix and IsWix! to choose the right candidate for upcoming product development. Tools Used v.Next Builds Team Foundation Version Control Or can I use basic MSI Build?

Hi @Deepak, To incorporate changes for your InstallShield project into your .isproj file, add a PropertyGroup element or an ItemGroup element near the top of your .isproj file, or update an existing PropertyGroup or ItemGroup element. Then add InstallShield-related parameters as needed. The following sample code from an .isproj file demonstrates how to do the following: Set the product version. Set the product name. Set a custom public property called MY_PROPERTY to the value My Value. Override a path variable called MyPathVariableName with a new value of C:\MyPath. Specify the following search paths for InstallShield prerequisites: \SetupPrerequisites and \MyCustomPrerequisites.
