Hey guys, I got a windows computer recently, and I thought it would be fun if I could bundle some of my projects into msi's I can send to friends/family. Ideally, I'd like it to install node and npm if need be, and then install a node package and maybe throw some icons on the desktop.
I've been trying to figure out how this works but man windows dev is kinda confusing! So far I figured out that node's msi is built using http://wixtoolset.org/ with https://github.com/joyent/node/blob/master/tools/msvs/msi/product.wxs and I figured out how the vcbuild.bat script sets up the cli environment, but I'm a bit lost still when it comes to actually deciphering all this xml stuff. XD I've never done any windows development so I'm pretty out of my element right now. Has anybody else done anything like this before? Any tips/tricks? Advice from the windows node team would be fantastic. :) Thanks, --Josh -- Joshua Holbrook Engineer Nodejitsu Inc.
