Using VS2012 devenv build from command line fails
Hi Guys
I'm trying to build my installshield project from the command line and it is failing.
I can build it from inside visual studio but when I use the command line to do an automated build in a separate directory by retrieving the source etc it fails.
This is the command I am using:
"%VSCOMPILER%" /build "Release" /project "iSM.Installer\iSM.Installer.isproj" /projectconfig Release /out "%RELEASEDIR%\ism_Build.txt" "%RELEASEDIR%\iSM\iSM.sln"
The solution appears to build fine with no errors but it doesn't appear to build the msi properly and falls over at the first project:
66>------ Build started: Project: iSM.Installer, Configuration: Release ------
66>Created release folders
66>AdminExecuteSequence table successfully built
66>AdminUISequence table successfully built
66>AdvtExecuteSequence table successfully built
66>AdvtUISequence table successfully built
66>InstallExecuteSequence table successfully built
66>InstallUISequence table successfully built
66>Directory table successfully built
66>Feature table successfully built
66>FeatureComponents table successfully built
66>Component table successfully built
66>Loading File table
66>ISDEV : error : -6225: Resolving Visual Studio .NET project output "ClassLibrary\ClassLibrary.csproj\|ContentFiles"
66>Default Configuration\Release - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
66>Log file has been created:
66>
Any help would be appreciated
thanks in advance
My command line:
devenv InstallShieldTest.sln /build "Release|Any CPU"
