Hi Team

I am not able to find meta data translator MSI file for installation. In setup folder, getting only VBProj file. Please guide me.

Kind Regards Ashwani

Hi Ashwani, you need to build the MSI file yourself by using the Setup subproject that's included in the Metadata Translator project. An alternative would be Mike Carlo's Business Ops tool. https://powerbi.tips/2020/08/one-tool-to-install-them-all/. Mike was kind enough to include a compiled version of Metadata Translator. Hope this helps. Cheers, Kay

@KayUnkroth I'm a maintainer on @MikeCarlo's Business Ops tool which you mentioned above. I'd like to update the version of Metadata Translator bundled with Business Ops to the latest version, but I'll need the MSI file to do so. I tried opening the solution file in Visual Studio so I could build it myself, but it gave me an unspecified error. Is there any way you can set up GitHub Actions on this repo to automatically build the MSI and publish it under the releases section whenever you merge new commits to master?
