用WIX制作安装包

product.wxs相关问题

1、需要打包的文件，目录层级很多，文件数量也很多（甚至有几万个），没法手工写wxs安装文件
解决办法是调用heat命令行，自动生成wxs文件。

Heat.exe dir ..\..\help -cg OemHelpFilesComponents -dr OEMHELPFILESFOLDER -sreg -srd -var var.HelpFilesFolder -ag -sfrag -out HelpFile.wxs

其中OEMHELPFILESFOLDER是在product.wxs内定义的目标文件夹：

  <Fragment>
    <!-- http://robmensching.com/blog/posts/2010/1/26/stackoverflow-what-does-namesourcedir-refer-to/ -->
    <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
      <Directory Id="ProgramFiles64Folder">
        <Directory Id="INSTALLMANUFACTURERFOLDER" Name="$(var.ProductManufacturer)">
          <Directory Id="INSTALLFOLDER" Name="$(var.ProductName)">
            <Directory Id="INSTALLPROGRAMFOLDER" Name="Program"/>
            <Directory Id="INSTALLPREFERENCESFOLDER" Name="Preferences"/>
            <Directory Id="OEMFOLDER" Name="OEM">
			  <Directory Id="OEMRESDLLSFOLDER" Name="ResDLLs"/>
			  <Directory Id="OEMHELPFILESFOLDER" Name="help"/>
            </Directory>
          </Directory>
        </Directory>
      </Directory>
      <Directory Id="DesktopFolder" Name="Desktop"></Directory>
    </Directory>
  </Fragment>

HelpFilesFolder需要在预定义内事先定义：

<DefineConstants>HelpFilesFolder=$(SolutionDir)..\help;DeployResDLLsFolder=$(SolutionDir)..\..\deploy\ResDLLs;</DefineConstants>

且var.HelpFilesFolder会成为wxs文件内的路径起始：

2、打包文件超过2GB，light报错算术运算符溢出（light.exe(0,0): error LGHT0001: 算术运算导致溢出）
解决办法是在product内，MediaTemplate的EmbedCab 设置为no，具体代码如下：

  <Product
    Id="*"
    Name="$(var.ProductName) MSI"
    Language="2052"
    Version="$(var.ProductVersion)"
    Manufacturer="$(var.ProductManufacturer)"
    UpgradeCode="f2b48580-bab4-487b-a9a6-931ac1ec602b"
    >
    <Package InstallerVersion="200" Compressed="yes" InstallScope="perMachine" />

    <MajorUpgrade DowngradeErrorMessage="A newer version of [ProductName] is already installed." />
    <MediaTemplate EmbedCab="no"/>

    <Feature Id="ProductFeature" Title="XXXSetup" Level="1">
      <ComponentGroupRef Id="ProductProgramComponents" />
      <ComponentGroupRef Id="ProductShortcuts" />
    </Feature>

    <InstallExecuteSequence>
      <Custom Action='CustomAction1' Before='InstallFinalize'>NOT Installed</Custom>
      <Custom Action='CustomAction2' After='InstallFinalize'>NOT Installed</Custom>
    </InstallExecuteSequence>
  </Product>

这样的话，就会在输出目录下除了生成MSI或exe以外，还会生成很多cab文件，如下所以：
