Using MSBuild to Build a Release from the Command Line

InstallShield 12

MSBuild provides an easy way to build a release from the command line on a machine on which Visual Studio is not installed. The only components you must have installed on the machine are the .NET Framework and the InstallShield Standalone Build. Place a copy of your Visual Studio solution on the machine, and run MSBuild.
