Team Foundation Server - Setup Build

[FlorianSchmelzer]

Hello,

We are trying to run our setup-build inside our daily teambuild (msbuild) via commandline build on a Windows XP build server.
Installaware is finishing with no errors and "Build completed successfully" , but i seems like the build process stops before compression.
the setupfiles are packed and available in installawares folder structure while buildingbut

#### BuildLog Output:
.....
Injected runtime files
Compressed setup files
Prepared SFX data
Created SFX file
Cleaned up

Build completed successfully
Done executing task "Exec".
####

the resulting output-executeable is only about 225kb (140mb expected).
Uncompressesd setup isnt worink either.

Are there any known issues with that?

Greetings
Florian

Dear Florian,

Could you describe the steps you are taking to compile the project?
Does it work when you compile it in the IDE?

Hi giaviv

im starting the setupbuild via team foundation build inside the AfterCompile-target

<Exec Condition="$(DoSetup)" Command=""$(ProgramFiles)\InstallAware\InstallAware 10\miabuild.exe" "C:\Visbee Setup\Visbee_eval.mpr" /o="$(DropLocation)\$(BuildNumber)\" /b=0"/>
(tfs buildservice account)

Building the setup via IDE and from commandline(copypaste from the buildlog) on buildserver is both working (my own account)

Setup-Projectfolder = local on Buildserver
Setup-Outputfolder = networkfolder

Greetings
Florian

Dear Florian,

Let me see if I'm getting this straight - you are saying that running the exact same command line from cmc works, but fails inside the team foundation build?

[FlorianSchmelzer]

hi giaviv,

if you meant "cmd" instead of "cmc" then, yes, exactly!
inside the tfsbuild, the complete "Compressing data\OFFLINE\....... -section" is missing
the folders and file are completely copied there at buildtime!
but it is like they are being ignored or something

thanks for your help

Dear Florian,

Since the command work on cmc (or better yet, cmd) and since I am not a Team Foundation Server expert, perhaps try posting your problem on a forum of theirs?
