Wix UI customization: Adding InstallScopeDlg to WixUI_Minimal

淺唱寂寞╮ 提交于 2021-01-29 20:27:30
问题 I am trying to add the InstallScopeDlg to my installer using Wix. Because InstallScopeDlg is only available in WixUI_Advanced but I don't need the other dialogs from that UI, I decided to create my own UI by copying WixUI_Minimal code and renaming to WixUI_MyMinimal . Then I changed some of the sequences and button names so I could put InstallScopeDlg after the WelcomeEulaDlg and before ProgressDlg . I also copied the other required dialogs to my Wix project in visual studio. The interface is

问题 We distribute the software created by my group via Windows installers generated via NSIS. We generate our NSIS configuration files from a python script written by a developer who no longer works with us, so we currently do not have anyone on staff who knows how to write NSIS config files. I have been tasked with modifying this script to add a section to the installer that displays our licensing information prior to performing the actual install. What would such a section in a NSIS config file

问题 I need InstallShield msi background image to use in wix. I have extracted msi via 7zip but I couldn't find background image. Can anyone help me to find it? 回答1: Copyright : Not sure about the copyright issues involved, I definitely would use my own images, but if you just want to get the images for the size parameters and then modify the content, then maybe just use dark.exe to decompile the MSI to its constituent parts. See link below for WiX's own, default images on github.com. Dark.exe :

Really struggling to get how WiX works

问题 I am working on a WPF project. I have created a Wix project which runs along with the main project and has a program.cs component as well as the XML file. Although I can see it creates the installer upon re-building the project, what is not clear to me is that why don't I have the actual WPF project inside it or as part of it. So really I don't install anything when I run it. Simply a shell program.cs file which is part of the Wix project. I don't get the actual project at all. So how do I

Difference between msiexec log /lv VS /l*v

空扰寡人 提交于 2021-01-28 12:02:14
问题 Microsoft's documentation for msiexec says this: /lv Turns on logging and includes verbose output in the output log file. /l* Turns on logging and logs all information, except verbose information (/lv) or extra debugging information (/lx). Examples To install package C:\example.msi, using a normal installation process with all logging information provided, including verbose output , and storing the output log file at C:\package.log, type: msiexec.exe /i "C:\example.msi" /L*V "C:\package.log"

wix: upgrade didn't remove the earlier product from ARP

问题 Using Wix 3.5, my initial MSI package (MyProduct v1.0) contained quite a few features, e.g. MS Word 95/XP/2003/2007/2010, MS Excel 95/XP/2003/2007/2010, MS PowerPoint 95/XP/2003/2007/2010. Their feature level was initially set to 0 but set to 1 if the specific app existed (using AppSearch). In other words, if MS Office 2003 was installed, only Word 2003, Excel 2003 and PowerPoint 2003 features had level=1, and the rest remained as 0. Recently I made the upgrade MSI package (MyProduct v2.0)
