Unattended MSI Builds using ANT

This example invokes the MM Batch File however you could also invoke the correct PPWIZARD command directly (see the debug file in the "out" directory):

<target name="makeMSI">
       <echo message="Building Windows Installer..." />

       <!-- Put your installation directory and project directories here -->
       <property name="msi.source.dir" value="c:\Projects\MyProject" />
       <property name="makemsi.dir" value="c:\Program Files\MakeMSI" />
       <property name="targetMM" value="myproject.MM" />

       <echo message="MakeMSI at ${makemsi.dir}\mm.cmd" />
       <exec executable="cmd"  dir="${msi.source.dir}" failifexecutionfails="true" >
           <arg value="/c"/>
               <arg value="${makemsi.dir}\mm.cmd" />
               <arg value="${targetMM}"/>
       </exec>
</target>
