Thank you for the help!
I am trying to build a .msi installer with a .vdproj file in Azure Pipelines, Microsoft hosted.
I am using a cmd line and devenv as other guides and people have suggested, but it seems to just run for a very long time at my 'Build MyApp Installer' step, about 39mins until I cancelled the run since it didn't seem like it was doing anything.
What am I doing wrong? Please help, and thank you again!
