I have searched all the custom tasks in Extension Pack and Community Tasks and finally found a task called Msi.Istall in SDC
Tasks. But the documentation is bad and causes problems. I get errors regarding the properties passed to the installer.
Below is my Install target :
`<Target Name="Install">
<!-- Copy the MSI package into remote pc. -->
<!--<CreateItem Include="\\grpdev1\Sharing\Build Script\Server Applications\**\*.*">
<Output ItemName="Source" TaskParameter="Include"/>
</CreateItem>
<Copy SourceFiles="@(Source)" DestinationFolder="\\lta0\c$\TestRemoteInstall\%(Source.RecursiveDir)"/>-->
Seems like it looks at my own local pc to install it and says the product is already installed and needs to be removed. How
else do i specify the remote machine? Any ideas where I am going wrong? I have also been asked not to use psexec tool or intermediate scripts.. Looking to install directly from msbuild task.
