Hello there,
in short:
I fixed some minor issues with WIX toolset support and added the possibility to
integrate service installation/uninstallation with generated msi packages.
Please review and comment what is missing for integration in upstream.
a bit longer:
When creating a component-based installer, the root component (or feature, as
it is called in WIX context) cannot be named and described. This can now be
done using CPACK_WIX_ROOT_COMPONENT_DISPLAY_NAME and
CPACK_WIX_ROOT_COMPONENT_DESCRIPTION.
The install folder can only be set to a subfolder of ProgramFiles or ProgramFiles64. With the
option CPACK_WIX_SKIP_PROGRAM_FOLDER it is now possible to set default installation paths on
arbitrary locations such as "C:\myprogram". In order for this to work, the Guids of the
WIX-Components must be explicitly set using CPACK_WIX_GENERATE_COMPONENT_GUIDS. Per default the
Guids are auto generated using the value "*".
Disabling components by default using the
CPACK_COMPONENT_<component_name>_DISABLED is now working.
With the install file properties CPACK_WIX_KEYPATH and
CPACK_WIX_PROPERTY_<tagname> it is now possible to add custom tags (such as
service handling) to the installer. If the custom tag depends on several files within
the directory, bundling of several files in WIX-Components is needed. This can be
done using CPACK_WIX_BUNDLE_COMPONENTS.
All new functionalities are documented and some small example snippets are
added to the documentation.
I hope these changes make sense to you, if the documentation is not accurate
enough or the naming of cmake properties/variables should be changed please let
me know
Would you mind dividing these changes into feature sized patches that I
can review, test and integrate individually?
Thanks!
Nils
