This action creates a step to compile an Avatar Software MSIStudio project file.  From the inputs, the MSIStudio command-line is constructed and called when the action is built, and any log output is captured to the log view and file.

 

This action has been tested with version 4 of MSIStudio and may also work with other versions.

 

 

Project filename: Specifies the MSIStudio project file to compile (required).

 

Release name: Specifies the release name to compile (optional).

 

Additional command-line options: This option can be used to specify additional flags to pass to the MSIStudio compiler.  See 'Command line' in the MSIStudio help index for the available options.

 

Override compiler executable filename: If this field is empty, the action automatically locates the MSIStudio command-line executable by finding the executable associated with the MSIStudio project filename extension (.mxp).  This can be overridden by specifying the executable filename here.

 

Log the compiler command-line: Logs the command-line used to compile the help project. This can be useful for debugging purposes.
