Question

使用Visual Studio 2008创建msi以使用安装项目部署我的程序。我需要知道如何使msi运行它刚刚安装的exe。自定义动作？如果是这样，请说明在哪里/如何。感谢。

Answer 1

这是一个常见的问题。我没有使用自定义操作来执行此操作。我知道的唯一方法是在生成后修改.msi。我运行一个Javascript脚本作为一个后期构建事件来做到这一点。它在安装程序向导中插入一个新对话框，其复选框显示“Launch Application Foo？”。然后有一个自定义操作来运行应用程序，如果选中该复选框。

它显示为安装向导序列中的最后一个屏幕。看起来像这样：

这是我用来修改MSI的脚本：

// EnableLaunchApplication.js <msi-file>
// Performs a post-build fixup of an msi to launch a specific file when the install has completed

// Configurable values
var checkboxChecked = true;                     // Is the checkbox on the finished dialog checked by default?
var checkboxText = "Launch [ProductName]";      // Text for the checkbox on the finished dialog
var filename = "WindowsApplication1.exe";       // The name of the executable to launch - change this to match the file you want to launch at the end of your setup

// Constant values from Windows Installer
var msiOpenDatabaseModeTransact = 1;

var msiViewModifyInsert         = 1;
var msiViewModifyUpdate         = 2;
var msiViewModifyAssign         = 3;
var msiViewModifyReplace        = 4;
var msiViewModifyDelete         = 6;

if (WScript.Arguments.Length != 1)

        WScript.StdErr.WriteLine(WScript.ScriptName + " file");
        WScript.Quit(1);

我最初是从Aaron Stebner's blog得到的，然后修改了它。

将该Javascript文件保存到项目目录（与包含.vdproj的目录相同），将其命名为ModifyMsiToEnableLaunchApplication.js。对于每个唯一的安装项目，您需要修改该脚本并将正确的exe名称放入其中。然后，您需要在Setup项目中将post-build事件设置为：

cscript.exe "$(ProjectDir)ModifyMsiToEnableLaunchApplication.js" "$(BuiltOuputPath)"

请务必正确输入宏$(BuiltOuputPath)的名称。单词Ouput拼写错误，Built拼不单Build！

应该这样做。

另请参阅：this modification，其中不包含UNINSTALL上的“运行Foo.exe”复选框。

行!!!这是代码（最后没有2个辅助函数'FindFileIdentifier'和'StringEndsWith' - 使用原始代码），这使我们能够更改控件的Y和高度，以及添加复选框控件可见性条件（参见“NEW - START”到“NEW - END”之间标记的2条评论）：

Answer 4

关于“隐藏的复选框错误”，我想出了以下没有解释的内容 Cheeso和Muleskinner的答案如上：

脚本的更改（由Muleskinner提供）将复选框的Y位置置于201（我猜控件的前Y像素）。如果将Y更改为151（为了使其在垂直中心对齐），则会突然出现“突然”错误。原因是在msi的控制表中有另一个控件，即'BodyText'（'Dialog'字段='FinishedForm'），其Y设置为63，高度设置为138.这是138 + 63 = 201.因此，如果更改复选框的Y值，“BodyText”控件将重叠新添加的控件，这就是用户需要将鼠标悬停在显示复选框的原因。如果您没有'BodyText'或其字符数足够小，您可以更改（通过使用Orca msi编辑器，或通过更改上面的脚本）这两个控件的Y和高度，以便能够和容纳新添加的复选框的Y位置不同。这同样适用于控件：'BodyTextRemove'，我们应该再次更改其高度值（在卸载期间出现）

希望这可以帮助所有与我有相同问题的用户关于这个“bug”

然而，脚本做得非常好！

另一个问题是如何在卸载过程中使Checkbox不可见。使用Orca msi编辑器，我在msi的ControlCondition表中添加了以下两行：

第1行（应显示控件时）：

（对话框）FinishedForm （对照）CheckboxLaunch （动作）显示（条件）REMOVE = “”

第2行（当控件不可见时）：

（对话框）FinishedForm （对照）CheckboxLaunch （动作）隐藏（条件）REMOVE＆LT;＆gt; “中”

P.S。我在Windows 7（x64）上使用VS 2010，但我相信这些也适用于以前的版本。

Answer 5

关于'PostBuildEvent'失败，错误代码为'1''未指定错误'错误，请更改PostBuildEvent

cscript.exe \"$(ProjectDir)ModifyMsiToEnableLaunchApplication.js\" \"$(BuiltOuputPath)\"

到

cscript.exe "$(ProjectDir)ModifyMsiToEnableLaunchApplication.js" "$(BuiltOuputPath)"

关于隐藏的复选框错误，您可以编辑脚本的第54行，使其成为：

sql = "INSERT INTO `Control` (`Dialog_`, `Control`, `Type`, `X`, `Y`, `Width`, `Height`, `Attributes`, `Property`, `Text`, `Control_Next`, `Help`) VALUES ('FinishedForm', 'CheckboxLaunch', 'CheckBox', '9', '201', '343', '12', '3', 'LAUNCHAPP', '{\\VSI_MS_Sans_Serif13.0_0_0}" + checkboxText + "', 'CloseButton', '|')";

Answer 6

此EnableLaunchApplication.js脚本有一个小错误，其中Control_Next选项卡顺序不正确。运行安装程序时，这将导致错误代码2810。

更改以下行以使用“ Line1”控件而不是“ CloseButton”，以便控件的制表符序列都已连接。

sql = "INSERT INTO `Control` (`Dialog_`, `Control`, `Type`, `X`, `Y`, `Width`, `Height`, `Attributes`, `Property`, `Text`,
   `Control_Next`, `Help`) VALUES ('FinishedForm', 'CheckboxLaunch',
   'CheckBox', '9', '201', '343', '12', '3', 'LAUNCHAPP',
   '{\\VSI_MS_Sans_Serif13.0_0_0}" + checkboxText + "', 'CloseButton',
   '|')";

是..我会写一个自定义操作，并将其粘贴在InstallExecutionSequence表的末尾
