msbuild - TFS: Wix using TfvcTemplate.12 unable to find source files -

i need utilize tfvctemplate.12.xaml because of pre , post build script execution back upwards , need run powershell script prebuild event.

on tfs 2013, building wix project using old defaulttemplate.xaml works fine. while trying build using new default template tfvctemplate.12.xaml builds csharp project fine, wix unable find files, while files nowadays @ same location.

here wix code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"> <?define sourcedir=$(var.outdir)?> <?warning **************** target=$(var.targetdir) ***********?> <?warning **************** src=$(var.sourcedir) **************?> <product id="*" language="1033" manufacturer="test" name="testing" upgradecode="db7dac5a-ed29-45e6-8029-89f6486a9aca" version="1.0.0.0"> <package compressed="yes" installerversion="200" platform="x64" /> <directory id="targetdir" name="sourcedir"> <directory id="programfilesfolder" name="progfiles"> <directory id="bin" name="bin"> <component id="addprojtosln.exe" guid="*"> <file id="addprojtosln.exe" keypath="yes" source="$(var.sourcedir)addprojtosln.exe" /> </component> <component id="addprojtosln.exe.config" guid="*"> <file id="addprojtosln.exe.config" keypath="yes" source="$(var.sourcedir)addprojtosln.exe.config" /> </component> </directory> </directory> </directory> <feature id="productfeature" level="1" title="testfe"> <componentgroupref id="testing" /> </feature> <media id="1" cabinet="product.cab" embedcab="yes" /> </product> <fragment> <componentgroup id="testing"> <componentref id="addprojtosln.exe" /> <componentref id="addprojtosln.exe.config" /> </componentgroup> </fragment> </wix>

i verified multiple times files there , builds without problem @ command line using msbuild , wix tool set well.

i'm unable figure out why using tfvctemplate.12.xaml, wix unable see files while these nowadays intact there....

any help appreciated.

so, able solve after whole day struggle. digg mount , got mice :).

actually tfvctemplate.12.xaml seems executing msbuild parallel processing enabled (/m), while in vs solution, wix project added independently i.e. in build order lastly project build, never set other projects dependencies. msbuild found has no dependency , ignored build order , building either on random order or first project. naturally installer project unable find source files , failing.

i verified phenomena removing /m:1 argument msbuild , declaring other projects dependencies of wix project: i.e. in vs, project –> project dependencies. caused msbuild build other projects before wix project , wix able find source files properly…

here screenshot illustration:
