Packing Project Libraries Programmatically

[crabstew]

Is it possible to create a packed project library via VI Scripting without having to create a Build Specification?

Alternatively, is it possible to create a Build Spec programmatically?

There are several ways, I do not know all caveats...

Open Project ref, My computer property, Build specifications property  -> Add Item, type = Library. Thes are regular properties, not scripting.

You can also edit project file as text and copy items from template.

Looks like the way to go is setting the XML properties manually 😕

After poking around at the methods for BuildSpecification, there are no pre-defined Build Spec specific properties but it does have a Set Tag method. The tag names can be found in the XML of a pre-existing Build Spec.
