devenv command line question

Hello all,

This is a kind of basic question but I canot seem to get it to function.

I have a VS.NET 2003 .sln file with a vdproj inside of it. From the command line, I wish to build only the vdproj portion of it, without showing the devenv GUI. I have tried just compiling the vdproj by itself but it cannot find the associated project it is trying to package. This project however *IS* a part of the sln.

Is it possible to build only the vdproj piece of the sln file from the command lien without showing the devenv GUI? I tried several different combinations of the /rebuild and the /project switches and it hasn't worked yet.

I understand that this may not be the correct forum but at the Visual Studio root there didn;t seem to be any better choice.

Thanks!

-Caolan.

You could just set up a separate build configuration (or separate solution) with both projects in it, but with the setup project the only one set to build (Build->Configuration Manager). But you should be aware that the setup project will be looking for compiled files that may not be present if you haven't also built the associated project.
