问题 I recently had to move some code from a PreBuildEvent in Visual Studio into the BeforeBuild target to make it work on AppHarbor. While doing so, I also noticed a BeforeCompile target.

See here I need to produce a setup file via an automated build; do I need to purchase an additional license for the build

I'm having a a problem creating a property group to correctly pass the ITaskItem array required for processing.
