问题 I'm looking at using Burn as a bootstrapper for an installer and I need to pass in a couple of arguments into the MSI. I know that the way to do this is to use MsiProperty elements, the issue I am having is with displaying the UI to capture those properties. I'm aware that I can create a completely custom UI via the managed bootstrapper application host, however this is turning out to be a lot of work to implement for a relatively minor tweak to the bootstrapper. I've found this blog article

问题 I have written a WiX installer that works perfectly with Windows XP, but when installing to a Windows 7 box I am running into difficulty with registry entries. I need to add an HKLM entry as well as the registry entry for the program to show in the start menu. Here is the code I am using for both types of entry: <!-- Create the registry entries for the program --> <DirectoryRef Id="TARGETDIR"> <Component Id="RegistryEntriesInst" Guid="..."> <RegistryKey Root="HKLM" Key="Software\$(var

问题 So I have this setup project in Wix and wanted to have a shortcut on the desktop. This must be easy you might think. But that is not the case. All the code snippets found on the Internet did not work. After a few hours of struggling and reading the documentation I finally got it right, so I am sharing it with you here. 回答1: The shortcut is a non-advertised one, hope this helps someone. Remember to put the component in your feature tag. <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id

问题 I have an existing MSI package which I want to repackage to add installation options (so far the MSI has been installed through the command line with msiexec parameters in a .bat file). Are there, as of today, freeware tools available to repackage the MSI? I was stumbling over WiX but as per my understanding I need VisualStudio to complete what I wanted (I dont have VisualStudio)? Thank you! 回答1: What exactly do you want to add to the MSI package? You could use Orca to modify any table in the

问题 We have several 3rd party controls which are GAC'd on the development machines. These are referenced in the Visual Studio projects. When we were using VS setup projects, it knew how to find the referenced files and include them in the MSI. However, I can't figure out how to include the referenced DLL files from the GAc in our new WIX setup. What do I put as the Source? <File Id="MyFile" Name="MyFile" Source="WHAT TO PUT HERE?" DiskId="1" Vital="yes" KeyPath="no"/> Also a bonus question: how

问题 I am using 2 500K bitmaps in to display images on my WiX dialogs. They dramatically increase the size of the installation package, and what is worse - it looks there's no way to package them as a part of a .cab file since they're <binary> -es in the WiX terms. So, I thught, is there any way to use other file formats for bitmaps or WiX is tethered with BMP? Ideally it would be greate if there's a way to use .png format since it comes with a looseless compression option. 回答1: The Windows

问题 Note: This question is also posted on the WiX Users mailing list. I am trying to silently execute a PowerShell script from a WiX produced MSI. However, anytime I run the installer PowerShell hangs. Interestingly enough, according to the installer logs the PowerShell script appears to run successfully. Additionally, if I kill the PowerShell process via Task Manager, the installer cancels the installation and rolls back any changes. PowerShell Script Contents # @param website The website under
