I would like to use wix2 or wix3 for an Office 2007 .net 2.0 shared add-in. The add-in is for Access, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint and Word. It requires a bunch of .NET components and should install the Office 2007 PIAs as well. In addition to that, it has a VC++ (ATL) 2005 COM shim and needs to use the appropriate merge module for that. I would like to support per user (HKCU) and per machine install (HKLM). Currently, I only allow HKCU with the files going into the Program Files folder. Also, deployment of the add-in in the future via GPO needs to be possible. It would be nice if the add-in only installed if it detects Office 2007 on the computer. The current setup project for it is a VS 2005 one. Windows XP: - needs to install .NET 2 if needed - needs to install KB908002 - prob. needs the VC++ 2005 redistributable files, although I am not sure about this one. The shim seemed to work without those - install into Program Files folder Vista: - prob. needs the VC++ 2005 redistributable files, although I am not sure about this one. The shim seemed to work without those - with HKCU (just me), install into %userprofile%. No UAC prompt should show up when installed that way. - with HKLM (everyone), install into Program Files. I would like to have one setup program for both OSes.
I understand that I need a setup bootstrapper and I have read the blog posts about the creative commons add-in, as well as the Wix tutorial. I tried using ClickThrough, but it just crashed on me. Can wix create a setup program that covers all these requirements? If yes, where do I start?
