Re: [WiX-users] Integration of WiX v3 on team build server

[Dmitry B. <db...@gm...>]

I can add wix.targets, light.exe, etc to source control, so build
server will take all this files with my sources, I will pass all
required parameters to wix.targets file, so I will able to compile &
link wix project without installing WiX on build machine.
