How to Start a Build?

This description shows how to start a new build.

The build can be done with either Visual Studio Code or the Powershell. The use of Visual Studio Code is recommended. The Base folder must be unzipped, the other packages can be unzipped automatically.

Optional: Set setSignEnvironment.ps1
Within your VisualStudioCode environment use the key-command Strg+Shift+B to start the build.
- build from msi. packages will start the build with the provided msi packages
- build from scratch will first build custom msi packages and then start the build with them.
PowerShell automatically uses the command powershell -file build.ps1  with the parameterisation defined in ".vscode/tasks.json"

Find your custom Setup Bundle executable in the PackageData\Build\Pipeline\BoostrapperOutput folder. The name will be the same as defined in the corresponding BA* file as "Bundlename" with the filextension ".exe".
