I am working on .net 3.5 windows applications. When I build the applicaiton from VS IDE, I am able to generate the .msi file. But when I am using devenv command, it was not generated. Below is the command I am using it from command prompt. Please anyone let me know how to fix it.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" "D:\Projects\MySolution\MySolution.sln" /Rebuild
When I attempted a command line build with devenv it failed with an error when processing the installer project.
And a command line build using msbuild failed because msbuild does not support installer projects.
There is a utility (DisableOutOfProcBuild.exe) that sets a registry key in HKCU that enables devenv to succcessfully build an installer project from the command line. See below for the use of this utility and a successful command line build.
Thanks "RLWA32-6355". This helps a lot. By the way when I am executing the command, I am not getting the logs as shown in your screenshot. May I know how to get those logs?
Note that the command line that my example uses executes devenv without appending .exe to the name.
Thanks again "RLWA32-6355"
You're welcome.
