用Application Updater Block生成一个自我更新的WinForms 应用
bigtall
在过去的两个星期里, 我一直在做我的第一个真正的.net WinForm应用的开发. 这是一个很有趣的过程,我一直在疯了似的学习东西. 其中之一就是我要允许应用程序能够用微软的Application Updater Block进行自我更新。 当它正常工作的那一刻，让我有一种很大的成就感，同时我也意识到微软没有提供那种按步骤顺序的例子。 Duncan Mackenzie 有一个 很好的blog文章 可以做一个开始，但是这个例子是VB做的并且没有提供RSA公钥和私钥的细节情况，所以我决定说一下我的工作过程。 希望能对你有用！
Step #1 Install the Application Blocks
Download the Updater Application Block from Microsoft .
Run the MSI Installer.
Step #2 在项目中加入代码和引用:
把下列工程加入到你的WinForm工程所在的解决方案:
Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.ApplicationUpdater
Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.ApplicationUpdater.Interfaces
Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.ExceptionManagement
Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.ExceptionManagement.Interfaces
如果你选择默认安装的话，它们的位置可能是：
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Application Blocks for .NET\Updater\Code\CS\Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.Updater
在你的WinForm工程中引用下列工程
Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.ApplicationUpdater
Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.ApplicationUpdater.Interfaces
Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.ExceptionManagement
把下列命名空间加入到你Form的.cs文件中
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.Threading;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml;
然后 添加这个位置的应用程序更新代码到你的代码中. 你需要从你的MainForm初始化方法中调用 InitializeAutoUpdate()。
Step #3 生成你应用程序的发布目录结构并配置 AppStart.exe
生成一个用于客户端程序安装的目录. 本例子中，我们用如下的目录：
C:\Program Files\YourApp\1.0.0.0\
现在复制 AppStart.exe 和 AppStart.exe.config 到类似如下的根目录中
C:\Program Files\YourApp\AppStart.exe
C:\Program Files\YourApp\AppStart.exe.config
说明: 这两个文件你可以在如下目录中找到 “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Application Blocks for .NET\Updater\Code\CS\Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.Updater\AppStart\bin\Debug“
Step #4 修改 AppStart.exe.config 文件
AppStart.exe 会启动你的应用程序，如果更新文件下载完成之后还有可能要重启. 它需要知道启动你最新的程序的目录位置.
修改配置文件以配合当前的版本:
<appStart>
<ClientApplicationInfo>
<appFolderName>C:\Program Files\YourApp\1.0.0.0</appFolderName>
<appExeName>YourAppName.exe</appExeName>
<installedVersion>1.0.0.0</installedVersion>
<lastUpdated>2004-06-10T15:33:17.3745836-04:00</lastUpdated>
</ClientApplicationInfo>
</appStart>
Step #5: 生成你的公钥和私钥
运行 "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Application Blocks for .NET\Updater\Code\CS\Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.Updater\ManifestUtility\bin\Debug\ManifestUtility.exe"
选择 “File..Generate Keys” 会提示你是否需要保存: PublicKey.xml 和 PrivateKey.xml 这两个密钥接下来就会用到.
我这里要提醒大家，这些密钥只要生成一次就可以了, 因为下面几个地方需要引用到RSA公钥和私钥. 你需要把这些密钥存放在一个安全的地方，因为在发布一个新的更新的时候会用到它
Step #6 创建IIS 虚拟目录
在你的Web服务器上生成一个目录来存放你的更新文件. 在这两个目录中要放两样东西 1) ServerManifest.xml 文件，包含最后版本的一些信息；2) 你的新程序的目录. 在这个目录里，生成一个目录来存放你的新版本程序. 在我们的例子中，我们用这两个目录, C:\Inetpub\AppUpdates 和C:\Inetpub\AppUpdates\1.0.0.1
用 IIS 管理器生成一个虚拟目录指向刚才的实际目录. 记下你的 URL, 在上传步骤中我们需要用到它. 你必须要打开虚拟目录的“目录浏览”选项.
Step #7. 配置你的版本 1.0.0.0 的App.config 文件
这里，我们会需要往里添加一些新东西. 首先, 我们需要加入一个configSections 元素来定义我们的 appUpdater 节:
<configSections>
<section name="appUpdater" type="Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.ApplicationUpdater.UpdaterSectionHandler,Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.ApplicationUpdater" />
</configSections>
接下来，我们需要添加一个 Version 键到我们的 appsettings 中, 我们首先设置我们的本地版本为 1.0.0.0, 这样我们就可以测试自动更新到版本 1.0.0.1
<appSettings>
<add key="VERSION" value="1.0.0.0" />
</appSettings>
最后，, 加入 appUpdater 节到你的配置文件中. 我这里用一对方括号把你要修改的值包含起来. 你可以直接从你上一步生成的 PublicKey.xml文件中复制 <RSAKeyValue> 元素.
<xmlFile> 元素必须要指向你在Step #6创建的虚拟目录的 URL .
<appUpdater>
<UpdaterConfiguration>
<polling type="Seconds" value="120" />
<logListener logPath="C:\Program Files\YourApp\UpdaterLog.txt" />
<downloader type="Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.ApplicationUpdater.Downloaders.BITSDownloader"
assembly="Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.ApplicationUpdater,Version=1.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=null"/>
<validator type="Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.ApplicationUpdater.Validators.RSAValidator" assembly="Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.ApplicationUpdater,Version=1.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=null">
<key>
<RSAKeyValue>
<Modulus>[YOUR MODULUS KEY]</Modulus>
<Exponent>[YOUR EXPONENET]</Exponent>
</RSAKeyValue>
</key>
</validator>
<application name="[YOUR APP NAME]" useValidation="true">
<client>
<baseDir>C:\Program Files\YourApp</baseDir>
<xmlFile>C:\Program Files\YourApp\AppStart.exe.config</xmlFile>
<tempDir>C:\Program Files\YourApp\temp</tempDir>
</client>
<server>
<xmlFile>http://[YOUR URL]/ServerManifest.xml</xmlFile>
<xmlFileDest>C:\Program Files\YourApp\ServerManifest.xml</xmlFileDest>
<maxWaitXmlFile>60000</maxWaitXmlFile>
</server>
</application>
</UpdaterConfiguration>
</appUpdater>
Step #8 发布版本 1.0.0.0
设置应用程序版本号. 可以通过设置在 AssemblyInfo.cs 文件中的版本属性来设置版本号.
[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.0.0")]
编译应用程序并复制 1.0.0.0 版程序到你程序的 1.0.0.0 目录中. “C:\Program Files\YourApp\1.0.0.0“
这里，你需要运行一下 AppStart.exe. 更新过程会失败，因为我们并没有把发布 ServerManifest XML 文件来指示应用程序新版本是否可用. 你可以检查日志文件，位置在 C:\Program Files\YourApp\ 目录中.
Step #9 构建版本 1.0.0.1
这是最有趣的部分. 首先, 通过更新应用程序的 AssemblyInfo.cs 和 App.config 文件内容来生成修订版本 1.0.0.1 . 编译程序, 然后复制文件到step #6生成的Web服务器目录中.
Step #10 生成服务器的清单文件
这个是最后一步. 如果你对本步骤中的.config文件作了任何修改的话，都必须把本步骤重来一遍. 做法如下:
- 再次运行 ManifestUtility 程序.
- 在 “Update files folder“ 选择器中选择 1.0.0.1 目录 .
- 输入更新位置的 URL .
- 输入新版本号 1.0.0.1
- 打开之前生成的 PrivateKey.xml 文件.
- 选择验证类 “Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.ApplicationUpdater.Validators.RSAValidator”
- 鼠标点击 CreateManifest, 并保存 ServerManifest.xml 文件到你的虚拟服务器目录中.
就这些! Pheeew! 从你的 C:\Program Files\YourApp\ 目录中运行你的 AppStart.exe . 你的程序就会被装入, 当你的程序运行的时候，你就会得到一个提示 “新版本可用” . 新版本会下载到目录 C:\Program Files\YourApp\1.0.0.1 中, 然后程序会自动重启. 如果有任何问题, 记得检查一下日志文件. 这些日志在诊断问题的时候会很有用的.
