Create wsp on project build

It would be much easier if you get the .wsp (or solution package) created and pushed into 12 hive’s BIN directory on just a build of your project, isn’t it. Well here is how you can do it in few steps

1. Create a folder “MyCustomFolder4wsp” in your project to hold the wsp package.
2. Create a empty file and name it as “setup.build”.
3. Add the below lines of code in your file

@SET MakeCabTool=makecab.exe

@SET WSP= MYwspName -> Name of .wsp file

@SET DESTDIR=”C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN”

@SET SPAdminTool=%CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN\stsadm.exe
if EXIST MyCustomFolder4wsp\%WSP%.wsp del MyCustomFolder4wsp\%WSP%.wsp
“%MakeCabTool%” /f MyddfFile.ddf /D CabinetNameTemplate=MyCustomFolder4wsp\%WSP%.wsp  -> provide name of your .dff file.
if EXIST MyCustomFolder4wsp\%WSP%.cab del MyCustomFolder4wsp\%WSP%.cab
“%MakeCabTool%” /f MyddfFile.ddf /D CabinetNameTemplate=MyCustomFolder4wsp\%WSP%.cab
XCOPY /r /y MyCustomFolder4wsp\*.wsp %DESTDIR%

4.  Set the Project properties to execute the  “setup.build” on Build of the Project. See Image below
