问题 I'm exploring distribution of .NET desktop applications with MSI generated by WiX. So far it works great. But I've got a few questions, googling can't help out with. What's the advised way of registering application to start when windows launches (in WiX)? What WixUI could I use and how? Notes: The application is not a Windows Service and should not be registered as such. It would be nice to let user to disable that option in the setup process. Thanks in advance! 回答1: I found this using

问题 I use WIX for the first time and I'm trying to create a MSI to install a service. I have one project that generates a myLib.wixlib that have : <Component Id="TestExecutable" Directory="TESTAPIFOLDER" Guid="*" > <File Source="$(var.BasePath)/TEST.exe" Id="TESTAPIServiceEXE"></File> </Component> To generate the .wixlib, I use -bf flags to embed the files into the .wixlib. How can I refer the TEST.exe file from the .wixlib in the code below? I have to set the source to use the file TEST.EXE

问题 When I am migrating Wix 3.0 to Wix 4.0 using WixCOP I am getting the error WXCP0006 : The whitespace preceding this node is incorrect (WhitespacePrecedingNodeWrong) I am running the below command WixCop.exe -f E:\Test\Wix\src\UI*.wxs.

问题 I wrote a simple wix installer with gui, which installs well. But when I run the same .msi file a second time, it takes me through the normal installation process in the gui, but uninstalls my app at the end. Then if I run this same .msi file a third time, the installer still does through the installation gui normally, but ends up doing "uninstallation". I don't understand why it doesn't behave like every other installer and handle installation and uninstallation gracefully. here is part of

问题 I need to create a symbolic-link for a particular folder; that folder is created by a WIX installer. Is there any way to create a symbolic-link from WIX installer? I have read about mklink , but I do not know how to use that in WIX (v3)? 回答1: You can use Custom actions to run the mklink. Run the custom actions after InstallFinalize. Or you can use Short cut instead of symbolic links. In Custom Action file: [CustomAction] public static ActionResult symboliclink(Session session) { string

问题 How to add (or change a default values) a summary page information to a WiX-generated MSI file? Summary page is the tab page which is visible if you right click on the MSI file in the Windows Explorer and includes following text fields: Title, Subject, Author, Category, Keywords, Comments alt text http://img151.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=13824_msi_summary_122_495lo.jpg 回答1: Further to @Stefan answer, here's a mapping of Wix items to msi details properties. have not found a way to set

问题 I'd like to read a value from an INI file in a WiX installer. I've just tried to use IniFileSearch, but this looks for an INI file or a path specified in an INI file (the documentation isn't clear), it doesn't read a value from an INI file. Do I need a customaction to do this? And if so, what would people suggest? Seems very strange if WiX doesn't have this, though! Code I'm using: <Property Id="SP"> <IniFileSearch Id="SearchSPVersion" Name="sp.ini" Section="ServicePack" Key="Version" Type=

问题 Edit: I've updated the code below so that it now works, thanks to Rob's answer. I've found a couple of pages that show how to do this (http://www.cmcrossroads.com/content/view/13160/120/, http://www.mail-archive.com/wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg05103.html) and looked through the source code for WAI (http://wai.codeplex.com/), but I can't seem to get it to work in my installer no matter what I try. If anyone can spot what I'm doing wrong I'd be very grateful. My WiX fragment for the
