安装MSBuild扩展

Wix本身有一个MSBuild任务,所以我认为最好看看他们是如何完成的,relvent源代码是 Toolset.wxs (谷歌代码搜索)。

查看他们定义MSBuild文件夹的部分:

<DirectoryRef Id="ProgramFilesFolder">
    <Directory Id="Dir_MSBuild" Name="MSBuild">
        <Directory Id="Dir_MSBuildMS" Name="Microsoft">
            <Directory Id="Dir_MSBuildMSWix" Name="WiX">
                <Directory Id="Dir_MSBuildMSWix35" Name="v3.5">
                    <Component Id="WixMSBuildBinaries35" 
                              Guid="2CB1EA5F-2542-4AFF-A05B-FAF576265F89" 
                              Win64="no">
                        <File Source="WixTasks.dll" Checksum="yes" 
                              KeyPath="yes" Vital="yes" />
                    </Component>
                </Directory>
            </Directory>
        </Directory>
    </Directory>
</DirectoryRef>

这将在\Program Files\MsBuild\Microsoft\Wix下安装Wix MsBuild任务(WixTasks.dll)

我们正是这样做的(还有更多:)

创建一个wxi文件,其内容如下:

<!-- Product name as you want it to appear in Add/Remove Programs-->
<?if $(var.Platform) = x64 ?>
  <!-- Product name as you want it to appear in Add/Remove Programs-->
  <?define ProductName = "Custom MSBuild Tasks (64 bit)" ?>
  <?define Win64 = "yes" ?>
  <?define PlatformProgramFilesFolder = "ProgramFiles64Folder" ?>
<?else ?>
  <?define ProductName = "Custom MSBuild Tasks" ?>
  <?define Win64 = "no" ?>
  <?define PlatformProgramFilesFolder = "ProgramFilesFolder" ?>
<?endif ?>

<!-- Directory name used under MSBuild -->
<?define InstallName = "CustomTasks" ?>

<Fragment Id="ComponentsFragment">
  <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
    <Directory Id="$(var.PlatformProgramFilesFolder)">
      <Directory Id="MSBuildFolder" Name="MSBuild">
        <Directory Id="INSTALLLOCATION" Name="$(var.InstallName)">
          ... Your custom .Targets and tasks go here
