One idea I would like to submit is something I did internally for writing tests
and other tools, borrowing an idea or two from another project of mine without
the PowerShell dependency.
Both WiX and DTF expose some pretty rich object models, but apart from using
different index bases all fields are exposed as integers. Even after 15 years I
don't always remember what column name is what index in a table! So I created
an abstract Row object that implements DynamicObject and provides field names
as properties, so that you (along with some LINQ goodness) can do stuff like
this:
var results = from dynamic upgrade in tables["Upgrade"].Rows
join dynamic property in tables["Property"].Rows on
upgrade.UpgradeCode equals property.Property
select upgrade;
foreach (dynamic row in results)
{
var detect = 0 != (row.Attributes & 0x2);
}
It's pretty straight forward to implement and, by abstracting the details away
using adapters, you could handle the different in indices and allow Breaker to
work with WiX and MSI output formats.
