I think I'm getting close but I'm getting an error when unpacking.
Reading the source for MakeSfxCA I found the GetPackFileMap function and
reading the description: "By default, all files will be placed in the root
of the cab. But inputs may optionally include an alternate inside-cab file
path before an equals sign."
So this implied to me that on the MakeSfxCA command line, rather than pass "
$(TargetDir)EULAs\ja-JP\Eula.rtf" I could pass "EULAs\en-US\Eula.rtf=
$(TargetDir)EULAs\ja-JP\Eula.rtf"
I beleive the log output of MakeSfxCA confirmed this:
Packaging files
MyInstallerCA.dll
CustomAction.config
Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.dll
EULAs\ja-JP\Eula.rtf
However, when I run my installer I get the following error:
SFXCA: Extracting custom action to temporary directory: Temp\MSI28AD.tmp-\
MSI (c) (D0!6C) [23:20:00:013]: Closing MSIHANDLE (2) of type 790531 for
thread 3436
MSI (c) (D0!6C) [23:20:00:091]: Creating MSIHANDLE (3) of type 790531 for
thread 3436
*SFXCA: Failed to extract to temporary directory. Cabinet error code 11.*
Has anyone tried this before and gotten it to work? Is there a better way
to do this?
Additionally I figured out how to pack everything in my CA project ouput
directory recursively. I replaced the PackCustomAction taget in the
Wix.CA.targets file with the following. I don't recommend changing this
file since it will get overwritten on the next Wix install, I simply did
this as a shortcut to see if I could get it to work. This could be placed
in any project file or imported from a custom target though.
<Target Name="AfterBuild">
<CreateProperty Value="$(TargetDir)$(TargetCAFileName)">
<Output TaskParameter="Value"
PropertyName="TargetCAPackage"/>
</CreateProperty>
<CreateItem Include="$(TargetDir)**\*.*">
<Output TaskParameter="Include"
ItemName="AllFilesInTargetDir" />
</CreateItem>
<CreateItem Include="@(AllFilesInTargetDir)"
Condition=" '%(AllFilesInTargetDir.FullPath)' !=
'$(TargetPath)' and '%(AllFilesInTargetDir.FullPath)' !=
'$(TargetCAPackage)'" >
<Output TaskParameter="Include"
ItemName="AllDependenciesInTargetDir" />
</CreateItem>
<CreateProperty
Value="@(AllDependenciesInTargetDir->'%(RecursiveDir)%(Filename)%(Extension)=%(RecursiveDir)%(Filename)%(Extension)')"
>
<Output TaskParameter="Value"
PropertyName="AllDependenciesInTargetDirList" />
</CreateProperty>
<!-- Run the MakeSfxCA.exe CA packaging tool. -->
<Exec Command='"$(MakeSfxCA)" "$(TargetCAPackage)" "$(SfxCADll)"
"$(TargetPath)" "$(AllDependenciesInTargetDirList)"'
WorkingDirectory="$(TargetDir)" />
</Target>
