this time is still not working, let's look at the next section.Third, execute the custom actionThe small part here is because the action is a function of WiX, this time first taste. Need three steps1. First introduce WixUtilExtension.dll2. Use Wixshellexectarget and CustomAction to define this behavior (add in the product element)Wixshellexectarget is designed to run an application, where the # number in value represents the full path, and this myapp
Next to a custom installation interface, this article continues to explore, first of all, WiX defines five styles for us, each with a certain order of UI. We can change the installation order or fully customize a dialog insert. For example, the order of Wix_mondo style is as follows, but not necessarily every dialog will be displayed at the time of installation.View CodeV. Changing the installation order of the UI interfaceTo do this step, we need to
This release is one of these two days to do a WiX tool Quickwix, mainly to solve two problem points 1. Quickly generate WiX tags for large files (files,directories,componentref); 2. Compare two engineering differences before and after comparison. Large WiX project has thousands of files, developers add DLLs, or resource files are not deterministic, and many times
#installationDownload the latest version of WiX toolset and install downloadThe version after Wix toolset V3.5 has been integrated into Visual Studio, where we can write code directly in VS and compile with vs.#demoFirst open Visual Studio, and then choose Create WiX Setup Project. After the creation is complete, in the project we can see a Product.wxs file named
WiX is a tool for making MSI installation files, and looking at a half-day document, it feels like nothing is more straightforward than an example.XML version= "1.0" encoding= "UTF-8"?>Wixxmlns= "Http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"> ProductId="*"Name= "Hellomsi"Language= "1033"Version= "1.0.0.0"manufacturer= "LEH"UpgradeCode= "1de12ee7-2e94-42ac-979f-06245a0ade31"> Packageinstallerversion= "$"Com
customized a UI tag Mywixui_mondo, put the UI and interface elements to be referenced into this element, if you do not define a new UI tag, then the definition of the Publish event can only be defined under Dbconfigdlg.wxs UI. The Dbconfigdlg dialog defines the interface for back and next jumps, but it also defines only one end of the doubly linked list, and the Setuptypedlg back button and the Licenseagreementdlg's Next button row define the other e
Using WiX to install the service is simple. It takes just a few words to get there. After we create the good one Windows service. We create a file in the project Service.wxs to install the service, and edit the code as follows:Wix xmlns="Http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"> Fragment> Component Id= "productc" Guid=" De8dd064-c440-4e82-80d7-d05c98753daf " Directory=" PRODUCTC "> file Id = "

You ' d probably is surprised at how many people don ' t know what do I themselves, but nonetheless'll happily tell you That's it ' s what you ought to be doing.I think that's kind of rude, so I figured I ' d actually spend some time poking around so if I tell you to do it, I C Ould then answer the follow-up question of, "OK then, how?".Of course, installers could is anything, and I don ' t know all of the tools (not
TheProgramThe location of the set is different from the runtime location of the Assembly, especially in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) Assembly, which needs to be handled when the winodws installer is created through Wix.
The position of the Assembly displayed in the Add reference window during vs design is from registry SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \. netframework \ assemblyfolders-put it under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE for all users, or put it under HKEY_CURREN
Visual Studio 2012 removes "vs setup" and replaces it with the open-source Wix toolkit to create the installation package. Recently released wix3.6 includes Burn BootProgram/Installation chain, which means that you can not only create installation packages such as the MSI file, but also combine multiple installation packages (such as installation preparation) to provide users with a smoother installation experience. The newly released
Problem Description:The project uses WiX burn packaging, which contains multiple MSI internally. Sometimes you encounter the following errorError 0x80091007:failed to verify hash of Payload:SetupProject1.msi.Problem Resolution:First of all, we need to understand the principles of WiX brun verifying its payload, there are two main cases:1) If the MSI has a digital signature, it is validated against the MSI's
With the introduction of the previous three articles, we should also have some understanding of the XML deployment of WiX, the weather is good today, another one. The main introduction of desktop, Start menu, uninstall and other functions of how to add. Hope that the Garden friends support!First, how to add filesDemo Packager is very simple, just an EXE, but the actual process, often also refer to some DLLs, configuration files. How do we install it u
We can use Wix to make a very beautiful Installation File. For example, the famous sharpdevelop is the installation file used for it. It was downloaded yesterday and tried it for a while,I feel very good. I personally think it is clearer than the installation file provided by vs (maybe I won't make it myself), but the MSI files generated by sharpdevelop are all in English.If you add Chinese characters to WXS, the generated Installation File becomes ga
When an application is running, it will inevitably read and write files and generate new data. However, files under program files cannot be changed at will. Files under win7 will be rejected if they do not have permissions. I have two methods: one is to move the data path to the program data directory, and the other is to grant permissions to the file.
Programdata
Of course, your application path must support this method.
Get folder Read and Write Permissions
This requires the application o
When creating the installation package, check required software for installation, such as Visual Studio installation. net frmaework and so on. If Wix cannot do this job, how can we do it. In this case, you need to create a bootstrapper, check the necessary software packages, download the installation software package, and then install your MSI Installation File. You can refer to the following two:
