New Post: Include file in outdir, but not in Msi

On BizTalk 2010 and newer you can use:

<Target Name="CopyFilesToTargetDir" AfterTargets="Installer">
    <CreateItem Include="..\..\MsiDeploy.bat">
      <Output TaskParameter="Include" ItemName="CopyPostInstaller" />
    </CreateItem>

    <Message Text="CopyPostInstaller = '@(CopyPostInstaller)'" />
    <Message Text="TargetDir = '$(TargetDir)'" />

    <Copy DestinationFolder="$(TargetDir)" SourceFiles="@(CopyPostInstaller)"/>
  </Target>

See if the Message tasks write something out and whether the values are valid. It is not easily possible to modify the .bat file contents on initial creation.

Thanks,
Tom
