Hi there,
Some may have seen my other post about getting started with Continuous Integration via TFS. I have a Build Server/Controller/Agent(s) configured and now I'm walking through the various Build Definition options.
My next area of concern will be how to get from the binaries dumped to my output/drop folder to packaging in an install. In other words, from the point of completed build with files in drop folder, how do I launch a script or third party app to grab the files I need, copy somewhere, then launch InstallShield to wrap everything up in an installation package?
Is there the ability to launch third party apps with the overall build capabilities in TFS. Our current build mechanism centers around a third party scripting app that does everything we need. I'm wondering if I just have thin or modify this current script to just pick up where the Build Definition leaves off. It would be cool if I could just launch our current third party app, which will do everything else I need.
Any points to what's next would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks!
