Deploying miabuild to a build server

We have build InstallAware Admin Studio. Its only taken a few hours to create a rather complex installer.

I would be building installers using InstallAware, but require that the msi (or exe in this case) be built on build servers (as part of our daily builds) and on developer's machines. As I understand, my license allows this since we bought Admin Studio.

However, I'm dumbstruck as to how to deploy miabuild.exe to development machines without having to install InstallAware. First, do I have to install InstallAware on each machine? If not, where can I find instructions on how to deploy miabuild.exe (and dependencies) so that I build the msi on a clean build machine?

I found documentation in the help file, but "Redistributable Build Engine" seems to be incomplete. It may be very useful if InstallAware can provide a MSI/MSM to deploy miabuild and its dependencies. Its taken me longer to deploy "miabuild" than it did to create the installer. :wink:
