"Elegant" CruiseControl.Net and WiX integration

Question

I am trying to integrate the automatic generation of MSI installers with my CruiseControl.Net installation. I can see how I can manually build an MSBuild file that calls candle and then light, but I need to make it build installers that can do upgrades, so can I use the BuildLabel (or something of that area) to regenerate new GUIDs for the newer versions?

I have already separated out the configurable parts of the WiX definitions, so it might be easier to hand roll a script or something.

Any help would be appreciated - especially working examples!

Thanks (as usual) in advance

Answer 1

Use Product/@Id="*" to let WiX generate product codes for upgrades. And you don't have to call candle.exe and light.exe manually; use the .wixproj templates to create MSBuild project files that use wix.targets.
