(Installshield 2010) ISProject Folder in TFS 2008

Question

I wonder what the ISProjectFolder, ISProductFolder, ISProjectDataFolder, ISPROJECTDIR (predefined paths) values are assigned when I build using TFS 2008 build agent

I think these can have different values from the values that are seen on local

does anyone know about this????

You can use the task to 'dump' the values you describe to the build log, i.e :

    <!--Copy the installer files into the distribution location.-->
    <Message Text="PATH TO SERVER INSTALL SET : $(ISServerOutputToBeCopied)" />
    <exec command="xcopy &quot;$(ISServerOutputToBeCopied)&quot; &quot;\\jupiter\Albany Products\In Development\EFT Corporate\ePay 1.5 Releases\1.5.$(AlbanyServicePackNumber)\$(BuildNumber)\ePay Server Installer&quot; /i /s /e /h /y" />
</Target>

<!--Build the "ePay Client" Installer project.-->
<Target Name="CompileISClientProject"
            DependsOnTargets="CustomCoreDropBuild"
            Condition="('$(InstallShieldIsCmdBldPath)' != '') And ('@(ISClientProjectFile)' != '') And ('$(InstallShieldProductConfiguration)' != '' ) And ('$(InstallShieldRelease)' != '')">
    <exec Command="&quot;$(InstallShieldIsCmdBldPath)&quot; -p &quot;@(ISClientProjectFile)&quot; -c &quot;$(InstallShieldProductConfiguration)&quot; -r &quot;$(InstallShieldRelease)&quot; -z &quot;ARPCOMMENTS=$(BuildNumber)&quot; -y &quot;$(AlbanyMajorNumber).$(AlbanyMinorNumber).$(AlbanyServicePackNumber).$(AlbanyBuildNumber)&quot;" IgnoreExitCode="true" />

    <!--Copy the installer files into the distribution location.-->
    <Message Text="PATH TO CLIENT INSTALL SET : $(ISClientOutputToBeCopied)" />
    <exec command="xcopy &quot;$(ISClientOutputToBeCopied)&quot; &quot;\\jupiter\Albany Products\In Development\EFT Corporate\ePay 1.5 Releases\1.5.$(AlbanyServicePackNumber)\$(BuildNumber)\ePay Client Installer&quot; /i /s /e /h /y" />
</Target>

Hope that helps !
