I have just started using TFS2010 as a source control, moving away from VSS. So the next step will be build. Is there are any handy tutorial on how to do that? Currently we are using Visual Studio setup project to build installation package.

Update

TFS server is already set up

No build controllers

We have Sharepoint integration, but have not used it actively

All machines are under single domain

We have currently around 10 solutions in maintenance to build

As a installation package we are using msi, and will be excellent to have ability to build msi using Visual Studio setup project or any other alternative packager

    I do not believe that a Setup Project can be built by Team Build.

    Aside from that, the reason you’re not finding tutorials is that it’s pretty trivial:

    1. Get your build servers set up. See the setup documentation for that.
    2. Open a solution you are currently building locally.
    3. Go to Team Explorer, right-click the “Builds” node, and choose “New Build Definition”
    4. Give it a name like “Manual build”
    5. Click the “Build Defaults” tab and specify the path to a share to use as a drop folder for the build outputs
    6. Save the build definition

    You’re done. That has created a build definition for the solutions in the current workspace, that you can trigger manually by right-clicking the definition in Team Explorer and choosing “Queue New Build”.
