how to integrate my IS 2009 with my VS 2009 nightly build process...
Using: IS 2009 Premier, Basic MSI Package
I have created an install package with IS 2009.
Now I need to include with the nightly build of our VS 2008 solution the automated creation of the IS install package.
Is this possible and, if yes, what are the steps for doing this?
Thanks,
Rick

It's definitely possible. Look into the command-line build (iscmdbld.exe) or MSBuild support we have; both are documented in the online help. Choosing between those may depend on how the rest of your build environment is set up.

I'm not quite clear on how to use it with Source Safe - ideally I would retrieve all the files from source safe and create my install package.
If this is supported in IS 2009 Premier, would you provide an example of the command line that performs this task?
Thanks in advance for the help.

While InstallShield cooperates with Source Safe, it offers no particular support for automated syncs. You will have to approach this however you do with the rest of your automated build. I believe when we used Source Safe internally that we pulled a copy of the entire project folder (and any subfolders) with the help of a batch file or vb script before invoking InstallShield on the files.
