Dear Friends, Hi.
I am very new to this WiX toolset. I started to create an installer for some
files in the last week. In fact, I need to create an installer exactly the
same as the ones previously created with other Installer creator programs
for previous Versions.
I have used the WiXUI.InstallDir for this purpose, and I have managed to
create some good Samples of MSI with it. yet, there are some problems for me
which I need to ask:
1) I need to Copy lots of files into the MSI file (and then install them
into target Computer). Do I need to create a <File Element> for each file,
Or do we have a special Element to copy a directory with all its
subdirectories and files altogether into the MSI file?
2) In the previous installed versions of the software, we have saved the
"Install directory" into the registry. I need to read this registry value,
and use it as the Install target directory on the Target Computer. Is this
possible? (The value in the registry is in this format:
[DiskDrive]:\[HomeDirectory] )
3) I need to check the Target Directory (the directory which user specifies
for installation) in order to have an address with no space. Is it possible
to do so with the <PreProcessor>? What is the solution for this in WiX
toolset?
4) We need to show the readme.htm file after the installation is complete.
in the previous installers, we had a checkbox in the last dialog to "View
the Readme File" if checked. Does "WiXUI.InstallDir" have this option? if
Not, what Can I do for this?
Thank you very much,
SirRimo
