The installation program is successfully created in 25th of the 36-Year Plan [yysun]

Original WB editor InstallationProgramOne disadvantage is that it cannot be detected and reminds users to download and install the. NET Framework. Users who do not read readme.txt do not know this prerequisite.

Inspired by Wix for Dummies, I found a solution:

Find the original wbeditor. MSI and find an MSI that can detect. net. Both MSI are decompiled with Wix (using its dark tool), cleverly combine the two Wix XML files, and finally re-compile and generate a new MSI using the candle and light tools.

The Drak/X option can decompile binary data in MSI, suchCode.

Why not generate a brand new MSI directly? The reason is that you need to retain the product upgradecode in the original MSI and the guid of each file to make the new MSI compatible with the old one. Therefore, after such a sum, the two MSI not only retains the original guid, but also adds the. NET detection function. In fact, the above outline is the 25th plan for launching the program.

Note: The old wbeditor. MSI is made with the makemsi tool.
