Generate MSI as part of the TFS assembly

I want to create an MSI build package as part of a TFS build.

What options are there?

I know about:

  • install VS on the TFS server (http://geekswithblogs.net/jakob/archive/2010/05/14/building-visual-studio-setup-projects-with-tfs-2010-team-build. ASPX)

  • Use third-party software on tfs

I do not want to rely on third-party software or install vs 2010 on the server, because I do not have a stock license

Wix: http://wix.sourceforge.net/

It can be called using MsBuild. I use it quite successfully in one of my projects.
