Using TFS Build Definitions on a Local Machine

I created a slightly customized TFS build process template, as well as a corresponding TFS build definition. It works fine on a TFS build server.

Is there any way to let developers reuse the same XAML build process and definition for a complete build on their local machines? Maybe there is some kind of utility that you can run using XAML files to build TFS?

I really would like to avoid saving a separate copy of the script assembly for complete local rebuilds.

Assembly templates can only be run by the TFS build service. Without installing it on every development machine, this might not be the best idea.

An alternative is to install the shared resource on the development machine and provide access to the TFS Build account (the one that TFSBuildServiceHost.exe runs on the server as). Then the developer can execute the Queue a build command and force the server to unzip the files to his machine.

Queue build

The disadvantage of this is that you need a lot of assemblies to work with agents.
