Question

如何编写Wix安装程序，该安装程序从XML文件导入参数值以便在安装期间使用？

Answer 1

这不是一个完美的解决方案，但我花了两天时间才开始工作并希望分享。毫无疑问会有一些错误，但我在可用的时间里做得尽可能好：

添加新项目并选择Windows Installer Xml安装项目
添加新项目并选择Windows Installer Xml C＃自定义操作项目

在您的设置项目中：

添加要安装的内容，例如files \ web site etc.（参见其他有关如何执行此操作的教程）

在Product.wxs中设置一些属性，例如

<Property Id="MyProperty1" />
<Property Id="MyProperty2" />

在Product.wxs中引用新创建的自定义操作（如下）：

<Product> .....
    <Binary Id='VantageInstallerCustomActions.CA.dll' src='..\VantageInstallerCustomActions\bin\$(var.Configuration)\VantageInstallerCustomActions.CA.dll' />
    <InstallExecuteSequence>
        <Custom Action="SetInstallerProperties" Before="CostFinalize"  />
    </InstallExecuteSequence>
</Product>

<Fragment>
    <CustomAction Id='SetInstallerProperties' BinaryKey='VantageInstallerCustomActions.CA.dll' DllEntry='SetInstallerProperties' Return='check' Execute='immediate' />
</Fragment>

将以下代码添加到自定义操作项目或类似内容中：

添加CustomAction类：

    public class CustomActions
    {
     private static readonly InstallerPropertiesFileManager InstallerPropertiesFileManager = new InstallerPropertiesFileManager();

    [CustomAction]
    public static ActionResult SetInstallerProperties(Session session)
    {
        session.Log("Begin SetInstallerProperties");

        try
        {

            var doc = XDocument.Load(@"C:\temp\Parameters.xml");

            session.Log("Parameters Loaded:" + (doc.Root != null));
            session.Log("Parameter Count:" + doc.Descendants("Parameter").Count());
            var parameters = doc.Descendants("Parameter").ToDictionary(n => n.Attribute("Name").Value, v => v.Attribute("Value").Value);

            if (parameters.Any())
            {
                session.Log("Parameters loaded into Dictionary Count: " + parameters.Count());

                //Set the Wix Properties in the Session object from the XML file
                foreach (var parameter in parameters)
                {
                    session[parameter.Key] = parameter.Value;
                }
            }                
            else
            {
                session.Log("No Parameters loaded");
            }
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            session.Log("ERROR in custom action SetInstallerProperties {0}", ex.ToString());
            return ActionResult.Failure;
        }
        session.Log("End SetInstallerProperties");
        return ActionResult.Success;
    }
    }

创建要存储在磁盘上的C：\ temp \ Parameters.xml文件

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <Parameters>
        <Environment ComputerName="Mycomputer" Description="Installation Parameters for Mycomputer" />
        <Category Name="WebServices">
            <Parameter Name="MyProperty1" Value="http://myserver/webservice" />
            <Parameter Name="MyProperty2" Value="myconfigSetting" />
        </Category>
    </Parameters>

N.B。您无需从安装项目中引用自定义操作项目。您也不应该在早期需要的安装周期中设置太晚的属性，例如那些安装文件的文件路径。我倾向于避免这些。

使用Product.wxs中的属性执行某些操作！例如我正在使用检索到的属性更新已安装的web.config

<Fragment>
    <DirectoryRef Id ="INSTALLFOLDER">
      <Component Id="WebConfig" Guid="36768416-7661-4805-8D8D-E7329F4F3AB7">
        <CreateFolder />
        <util:XmlFile Id="WebServiceEnpointUrl" Action="setValue" ElementPath="//configuration/system.serviceModel/client/endpoint[\[]@contract='UserService.V1_0.GetUser.ClientProxy.Raw.IGetUserService'[\]]/@address" Value="[MyProperty1]" File="[INSTALLFOLDER]web.config" SelectionLanguage="XPath" />
      </Component>
    </DirectoryRef>
  </Fragment>

与Wix安装程序一样，第一次没有任何作用。重新构建您的Wix SetupProject并使用以下命令行在本地运行msi以打开登录：

msiexec /i "myInstaller.msi" /l*v "log.log"

运行后，打开日志文件，您应该看到以下事件：

一种解决方案是使用"Community MSI Extensions"

您之后的自定义操作可能是Xml_SelectNodeValue（有关如何使用它的示例）。
