Hi Pramod,

Thanks for your post!

In the following blog, which shows how to do build a setup projects in team build by using the InvokeProcess activity directly in a build workflow template. You’ll want to run build your setup projects after you have successfully compiled the projects.   

Please see Building Visual Studio Setup Projects with TFS 2010 Team Build

For more information, you can refer to http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/lv/tfsbuild/thread/55078797-826b-48a0-9c1d-b853006bc7b7

Hope it helps!

Best Regards,
