Explanation

Project File 

The project file to compile.  Use the button on the right to select a MSI Factory project.

Variables INI 

Lets you specify an INI file that contains build variables to override the ones in the project. You can define as many build variables as you want in the INI file, with each variable on a separate line beneath the [Variables] section. Each variable that is defined in the INI file must already be defined in the project file. For example:

[Variables]

OUTPUTDIR=C:\Output\Foobar 2002\Release

SETUPNAME=foobar2002setup

BUILD=release

Log File 

Select the name of the logfile if you want to redirect logging to a different file.  If the file does not exist MSI Factory will create it.  If it does exist MSI Factory will append the new log information to the existing file unless you check the "Delete Logfile before compile"

Use STDOUT

Redirects the build status output to the Standard Output device (console)

Delete Logfile...

Use this to create a new logfile every time to compile the project.  MSI Factory will append the log to an existing logfile but this option allows you to create a new logfile each time you build.
