I need to customize the build process beyond just selecting which projects get built in what order.
What I want to happen is when I select "Release"
1: pop a dialog confirming I want to build (release build takes several minutes, and I regularly forget to switch back to "debug")
2: Build several projects in a specific order.
3: Run a batch file that checks everything out from VSS (can write the batch file, just need to call it here)
4: Run another batch file that performs a linking operation (already have this batch file - again, just need to call it)
5: Run a batch file to check everything back into the safe (again, just run - will write file)
6: Build the final project (which is an installshield setup project)
All of the searching I've done around "custom actions" seems to be related to actions within a VS setup project.
Thanks in advance.
