In our build process there is currently the potential for non-code based files (such as image files) to be added to our web project, but not included in the MSI installer built by WiX.
To help prevent this, I want to perform the following in the AfterBuild target for our WiX project:
- Get a count of all files built (output from web deployment project)
- Get a count of all files built into MSI (from "File" table in MSI)
- Compare counts and fail build if they don't match
If I fire up Orca I can easily see the File table and count, but I don't know how to automate this from MSBuild. Is there some API or other mechanism to get this information out of an MSI?
I don't mind writing a custom MSBuild task to extract the MSI File table count.
