Understood re: license.
Can this be done without an actual install? I try to keep the build server installs to a minimum, ideally just the .net sdk.
Sure, you just need a couple of assemblies. The installer mainly does a copy action anyway, so it's not a big thing, but you could copy over assemblies from an actual install.
Have you considered separating the code generation from the designer in the future? This would fit better with the concept of build servers/ci.

The code generator is actually separated, it's an engine which is based on tasks and each task can for example call into a code generator engine, or create a directory or whatever you can come up with (for example check out code / check in code, build etc.), as you can write these task performers yourself with a couple of lines of code.
For licensing it's not separately licensed, so you've to purchase a license to use it.
