I currently have an advanced installer project setup to build a visual studio project as a pre build event for building the installer
However, I have some synchronized folders, and have noticed that the folder sync occurs before the pre build event, meaning if files are added / removed, I assume they won't be reflected in the installer
Is there a way to delay the refresh until after the pre build events have finished?
(I have tried using /RefreshSync, however it requires paths that I am not sure how to set)

Re: Refresh folder sync after pre builds events
Hello,
Indeed, this is a corner case of the Synchronized folders support.
Unfortunately, I'm afraid there isn't really a workaround for this.
The only thing I can think of would be to leverage our PowerShell Automation support to build the project for you.
For instance, you can build the VS project and then have a script that takes the resources (even using synchronized folders), adds them to the project and then builds the project.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Catalin
