WixSharpFluent 1.4.6

WixSharpFluent

An extension, and fluent extension methods collection for: https://github.com/oleg-shilo/wixsharp

Typical use case

Providing data from build scripts:

In your installer projects (not product projects) you might want to provide additonal information. This can easily be done with Assembly Attributes:

• WixSharp.Fluent.Attributes.*
• Or the default Assembly Attributes

Which are read when calling respective methods from:

• WixSharp.Fluent.Extensions.AssemblyAttributeExtensions
• Or by the Setters for Project and in some cases when it's viable for Bundle (Can be easily checked by parameters list if it accepts a Assembly)

It is also possible to read additonal information from the product assemblies. Just Provide The Assembly as parameter.

Project:

Assuming all data is provided from Assembly attributes of the Intaller project:

namespace Installer
{
  internal static class Product
  {
    public static readonly File mainExecutable = new File($@"{GetSourcePath()}\Product.exe").SetFireWallException();
    internal static readonly string mainFileName = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(mainExecutable.Name);
    internal static readonly string prettyName = GetExecutableName();

    internal static Project Create()
    {
      var product = new Project()
        .SetDefaults()
        //.SetPreserveTempFiles(true)
        .SetMajorUpgrade($"A Newer Version of {prettyName} is already installed.");

      //product.UI = WUI.WixUI_ProgressOnly;

      product.AddDirs(
          new InstallDir(InstallationFolderId.ToId(),GetInstallationPath(),
              new DirFiles($@"{GetSourcePath()}\*.*", f => !f.EndsWith(mainFileName) && !f.EndsWith(".pdb")),//'!f.EndsWith(exeFileName)' To not duplicate the file below
              mainExecutable,
              ),

          new Dir(GetStartMenuPath(),
              new ExeFileShortcut("ApplicationStartMenuShortcut".ToId(),
                      prettyName, $"[{InstallationFolderId}]{mainFileName}", arguments: "")
              {
                WorkingDirectory = $"[{InstallationFolderId}]",
                IconFile = product.GetIconPath(),
              }
            )
      );

      return product;
    }
  }
}

Bundle:

namespace Installer
{
  public static class Program 
  {
    static void Main()
    {
      var project = Product.Create();
      new Bundle()
        .SetDefaults()
        .SetFromProject(project)
        .AddNetFxWeb48()//Redist
        .AddMsiProject(project)
        .Build();
    }
  }
}

Util Extensions

PathExtensions

Allow to separate paths/string easily by ';' or '', while replacing all '/' with ''. Usefull When dealing with multiple paths/constants in Assembly Attributes.

FeatureExtensions/WixEntityExtensions

Help to make Features and entities.

Feature setting with bootstrappervariables

It is also possible to use custom conditions/variable names.

But using custom variable names enforces to use custom conditions!

//In Project or some Constant Pool Class
internal static readonly Feature docs = new Feature("Documentation").SetSmart();

//In project
project.AddSmartFeatureProperty(docs);
...Somewhere in your Dir tree or file listings...
file.SetFeatureAndCondition(docs)
files.SetFeaturesAndConditions(docs)
...

//In Bundle
bundle.AddMsiProject(project, properties: $"{docs.GetPropertyName()}=[**ButtonNameFromBootstrapperTheme**]")
