Create Shortcut/Registry in an Installer

昨天添加完UI后,我们Installer终于可以和用户交互了,虽然很简单,但总算有个好的开头...可是安装完之后呢?额...我们的产品到哪里启动啊?!太大意了,居然没有给程序做快捷方式!总不能每次让使用者从C:\Program Files\WixProject\下启动吧~

那在WiX中怎么创建呢?

代码

有点儿多且乱哈,没关系,我们一步一步来看~先看快捷方式.

代码
<Shortcut Id="WindowsFormsApplicationStartmenu" Directory="ProgramMenuDir" Name="Windows Forms Application"
                  WorkingDirectory='INSTALLDIR' Icon="WindowsFormsApplicationIcon.exe" IconIndex="0" Advertise="yes" />
               
<Shortcut Id="WindowsFormsApplicationIconDesktop" Directory="DesktopFolder" Name="Windows Forms Application"
                  WorkingDirectory='INSTALLDIR' Icon="WindowsFormsApplicationIcon.exe" IconIndex="0" Advertise="yes" />
Shortcut1) 这里建立了两个位置的快捷方式,一个在"所有程序"文件夹里,一个在桌面~
2) 有两个属性需要注意,一个是"Directory":两个值"ProgramMenuDir"和"DesktopFolder"分别在后面定义的
代码
<Directory Id="ProgramMenuFolder" Name="Programs">
        
<Directory Id="ProgramMenuDir" Name="Windows Forms Application">
          ...
        
</Directory>
      
</Directory>

<Directory Id="DesktopFolder" Name="Desktop" />

另一个是"Icon",同样是引用了一个具体的量

<Icon Id="WindowsFormsApplicationIcon.exe" SourceFile="$(var.SolutionDir)\WindowsFormsApplication\$(var.OutDir)\WindowsFormsApplication.exe" />

或许你注意到了吧,这个定义Icon的Id值有点儿特别,带有个"扩展名(.exe)".对咯,是和具体的SourceFile扩展名一致的,这是WiX的定义规范~你试着删除掉~

P.S.,如果你安装完毕后看不到ICON...那很可能你的应用程序没包含吧~


除了快捷方式,将产品信息写入注册表也是必须做的(主要是给其他程序查询自己提供方便,当然卸载的时候一定记着清理掉...不然就"流氓"了

代码
<Component Id="Com.ProgramMenuDir" Guid="0194D405-F08A-4a86-AA83-75E9EB336BBE">
            
<RemoveFolder Id='ProgramMenuDir' On='uninstall' />
            
<RegistryValue Id='regValue' Root='HKCU' Type='string' Key='Software\[Manufacturer]\[ProductName]' Name='Location' Value='[INSTALLLOCATION]'/>
          
</Component>

......

<Component Id="Com.Reg" Guid="E5619341-E3B8-4513-970B-A9924DE3EE26">
        
<RegistryKey Root="HKLM" Key="Software\[Manufacturer]\[ProductName]" Action="createAndRemoveOnUninstall">
          
<RegistryValue Type="string" Name="Product" Value="[ProductName]" KeyPath="yes" />
          
<RegistryValue Type="string" Name="Version" Value="1.0.0.0"/>
          
<RegistryValue Type="string" Name="Location" Value="[INSTALLLOCATION]"/>
          
<RegistryValue Type="string" Name="Language" Value="[ProductLanguage]"/>
        
</RegistryKey>
</Component>
说明1) RemoveFolder/RemoveFile,顾名思义删除文件夹和文件的,你可以选择什么时候做这些操作,这里是在"卸载"的时候,把给快捷方式创建的folder移除掉(默认是必须有这个的...),在HKCU中写入Registry也是必须的,把"Root"设置成"HKLM"试试~
2) 接下来几行都是写入HKLM注册表的~先建立主Key,在写入Key/Value值.在方括号("[]")中的都是MSI的"Property(属性)",都是再其他地方定义过的,找找看~ ^^" Action也值得试玩一下,还有移掉"Keypath"~


对了,我们还增加了一个Feature项,结合"WixUI_FeatureTree",看看有什么不一样的地方?

代码
<Feature Id="Product" Title="Windows Form sApplication" Level="1">
    
<ComponentRef Id="Com.ProductComponent" />
    
</Feature>
    
<Feature Id="Others" Title="Shortcuts,Registry" Level="1">
      
<ComponentRef Id="Com.ProgramMenuDir" />
      
<ComponentRef Id="Com.Reg" />
    
</Feature>

......

<UIRef Id="WixUI_FeatureTree"/>


 

好了,这下用户可以很方便的启动我们的程序了!

开始菜单

 

桌面

不知道有人试过没,把"Compressed"或者"EmbedCab"设置成"no",编译后有啥效果?

Compressed="no",需要安装的文件将不会被打包在MSI里,而是放在WixProject目录中(可以随便替换被安装文件~)

EmbedCab="no"
