New Post: Putting MSBuild Extension pack into my codebase - is this a good idea or not?

Hi,

I just read http://msbuildextensionpack.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Prereqs&referringTitle=Documentation which suggests that MSBuild Extension pack should be installed wherever I am going to use it.

That makes sense however it does mean that MSBuild Extension pack is now a pre-requisite for anywhere where I am going to compile my codebase. Personally I think it would be much easier if I just bundled MSBuild Extension Pack along with my codebase - that way I know that it will always be present. Does anyone else do that?

The one thing that bothers me about doing this is that the docs say:

If you do not install the MSBuild Extension Pack to the default installation path, you will need to alter the MSBuild.ExtensionPack.tasks file as it refers to $(MSBuildExtensionsPath) which always refers to %PROGRAMFILES%.

which does worry me sightly. Am I worrying about nothing?

thanks
Jamiet
