&lt;p&gt;I have followed the same step given by you.. unfortunately the build runs for ever.. do you have any idea.. i am really tired making vdproj/msi/setup copied into drop folder..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;your advice please..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;this is my configuration &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;lt;Target Name=&amp;quot;AfterCompile&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;Exec Command=&amp;quot;&amp;amp;quot;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\devenv&amp;amp;quot; &amp;amp;quot;$(SolutionRoot)\ADAMS R1 Install\ADAMS R1 Install.vdproj&amp;amp;quot; /Build &amp;amp;quot;Release|Any CPU&amp;amp;quot;&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;Copy SourceFiles=&amp;quot;$(BuildProjectFolderPath)/../../ACA R.5/Source/ADAMS/ADAMS R1 Install/Release/ACA R1 Install.msi&amp;quot; DestinationFolder=&amp;quot;$(OutDir)&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;/p&gt;

I added your snippet to our build script and it works fine. I am new to the whole msbuild area so this was very helpful.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;The files mentioned could not be loaded'.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This then points to the vdproj file. And i have the error telling me that Team build failed. Exited with code 1&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please help&lt;/p&gt;
