使用Wix生成MSI

Question

我正在使用Wix 3.8为我创建的Visual Studio项目创建MSI安装程序.我按照这个简单的教程,但即使只是这个简单的Wix项目,我收到错误.这是我的

我已将我的VS2012项目添加为我的Wix安装程序的参考.

这是我的 Product.ws档案:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Wix xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi'
   xmlns:iis='http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/IIsExtension'>
    <Product Id="*" Name="MyProjectInstaller2" Language="1033" Version="2.0.0.0" Manufacturer="Company" UpgradeCode="7f5b63be-bdad-4cc9-b4df-b3f1648c0539">
        <Package InstallerVersion="200" Compressed="yes" InstallScope="perMachine" />

        <MajorUpgrade DowngradeErrorMessage="A newer version of [ProductName] is already installed." />
        <MediaTemplate />

        <Feature Id="ProductFeature" Title="MyProjectInstaller2" Level="1">
            <ComponentGroupRef Id="ProductComponents" />
        </Feature>
    </Product>

    <Fragment>
        <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
            <Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder">
                <Directory Id="INSTALLFOLDER" Name="MyProjectInstaller2" />
            </Directory>
        </Directory>
    </Fragment>

    <Fragment>
        <ComponentGroup Id="ProductComponents" Directory="INSTALLFOLDER">
            <!-- TODO: Remove the comments around this Component element and the ComponentRef below in order to add resources to this installer. -->
            <!-- <Component Id="ProductComponent"> -->
        <File Source="$(var.MyProject.TargetPath)" />
            <!-- </Component> -->
        </ComponentGroup>
    </Fragment>
</Wix>

当我编译它时,我收到以下错误:

The ComponentGroup element contains an unexpected child element 'File'.

我搜索了互联网的内容,以解决这个非常基本的问题.为什么VS2012无法识别元素？

Answer 1

您应该遵循下一个层次结构:ComponentGroup - > Component - > File等.在您的示例中,我建议您将File元素放入单独的组件中,然后将此组件添加到ComponentGroup中.尝试这样的事情:

<Component Directory="YOUR-DIRECTORY" Guid="your-guid" Id="SomeComponent">
    <File Source="$(var.MyProject.TargetPath)"/>
</Component>
<ComponentGroup Directory="INSTALLFOLDER" Id="ProductComponents">
    <ComponentRef Id="SomeComponent"/>
</ComponentGroup>
