把可以单独打补丁的组件放在它们自己的片段中

它适用于制作产品安装程序和补丁，如果您在一个片段中包含任何组件，则必须在该片段中包含所有组件。在构建安装程序的情况下，如果您遗漏了任何组件引用，您将从light.exe得到一个链接错误。但是，当您制作补丁时，如果您在一个片段中包含一个组件引用，那么该片段中所有更改的组件将显示在您的补丁中。

是这样的:

<Fragment>
    <DirectoryRef Id="SampleProductFolder">
        <Component Id="SampleComponent1" Guid="{C28843DA-EF08-41CC-BA75-D2B99D8A1983}" DiskId="1">
            <File Id="SampleFile1" Source=".\$(var.Version)f\Sample1.txt" />
        </Component>
    </DirectoryRef>
</Fragment>

<Fragment>
    <DirectoryRef Id="SampleProductFolder">
        <Component Id="SampleComponent2" Guid="{6CEA5599-E7B0-4D65-93AA-0F2F64402B22}" DiskId="1">
           <File Id="SampleFile2" Source=".\$(var.Version)f\Sample2.txt" />
        </Component>
    </DirectoryRef>
</Fragment>

<Fragment>
    <DirectoryRef Id="SampleProductFolder">
        <Component Id="SampleComponent3" Guid="{4030BAC9-FAB3-426B-8D1E-DC1E2F72C2FC}" DiskId="1">
           <File Id="SampleFile3" Source=".\$(var.Version)f\Sample3.txt" />
        </Component>
    </DirectoryRef>
</Fragment>

而不是这样:

<Fragment>
    <DirectoryRef Id="SampleProductFolder">
        <Component Id="SampleComponent1" Guid="{C28843DA-EF08-41CC-BA75-D2B99D8A1983}" DiskId="1">
            <File Id="SampleFile1" Source=".\$(var.Version)\Sample1.txt" />
        </Component>

        <Component Id="SampleComponent2" Guid="{6CEA5599-E7B0-4D65-93AA-0F2F64402B22}" DiskId="1">
           <File Id="SampleFile2" Source=".\$(var.Version)\Sample2.txt" />
        </Component>

        <Component Id="SampleComponent3" Guid="{4030BAC9-FAB3-426B-8D1E-DC1E2F72C2FC}" DiskId="1">
           <File Id="SampleFile3" Source=".\$(var.Version)\Sample3.txt" />
        </Component>
    </DirectoryRef>
</Fragment>

此外，在使用WiX中的“使用纯WiX”主题进行修补时。CHM帮助文件，使用这个程序生成补丁:

torch.exe -p -xi 1.0\product.wixpdb 1.1\product.wixpdb -out patch\diff.wixmst
candle.exe patch.wxs
light.exe patch.wixobj -out patch\patch.wixmsp
pyro.exe patch\patch.wixmsp -out patch\patch.msp -t RTM patch\diff.wixmst

仅仅拥有产品的1.1版本是不够的。Wixpdb使用单独片段中的组件构建。所以一定要在发货前对产品进行正确的分段。

正在安装到C:\ProductName

一些应用程序需要安装到C:\ProductName或类似的地方，但99.9%(如果不是100%)的示例安装到C:\Program Files\ CompanyName\ProductName。

下面的代码可以用来将TARGETDIR属性设置为C:驱动器的根目录(取自WiX-users列表):

<CustomAction Id="AssignTargetDir" Property="TARGETDIR" Value="C:\" Execute="firstSequence" />
<InstallUISequence>
    <Custom Action="AssignTargetDir" Before="CostInitialize">TARGETDIR=""</Custom>
</InstallUISequence>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
    <Custom Action="AssignTargetDir" Before="CostInitialize">TARGETDIR=""</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>

注意:默认情况下，TARGETDIR不指向C:\!相反，它指向ROOTDRIVE，而ROOTDRIVE又指向拥有最大空闲空间的驱动器的根(见这里)——这并不一定是C:驱动器。可能有另一个硬盘驱动器，分区，或USB驱动器!

然后，在<Product…>标签，您需要以下目录标签像往常一样:

<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
    <Directory Id="APPLICATIONFOLDER" Name="$(var.ProductName)">
        <!-- your content goes here... -->
    </Directory>
</Directory>

设置IIS enable32BitAppOnWin64标志http://trycatchfail.com/blog/post/WiX-Snippet-change-enable32BitAppOnWin64.aspx

<InstallExecuteSequence>
   <RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallFinalize" />
   <Custom Action="ConfigureAppPool" After="InstallFinalize" >
     <![CDATA[NOT Installed AND VersionNT64 >= 600]]>         
   </Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>

<CustomAction Id="ConfigureAppPool" Return="check" Directory="TARGETDIR" ExeCommand="[SystemFolder]inetsrv\appcmd set apppool /apppool.name:[APPPOOLNAME] /enable32BitAppOnWin64:false" />

包括COM对象:

Heat生成所有(如果不是全部)注册表项和它们所需的其他配置。喜乐!

包括托管COM对象(又名。net或c# COM对象)

在托管COM对象上使用heat将为您提供一个几乎完整的wix文档。

If you don't need the library available in the GAC (ie, globally available: MOST of the time you do not need this with your .NET assemblies anyway - you've probably done something wrong at this point if it's not intended to be a shared library) you will want to make sure to update the CodeBase registry key to be set to [#ComponentName]. If you ARE planning on installing it to the GAC (eg, you've made some new awesome common library that everyone will want to use) you must remove this entry, and add two new attributes to the File element: Assembly and KeyPath. Assembly should be set to ".net" and KeyPath should be set to "yes".

然而，某些环境(特别是带有托管内存的环境，如脚本语言)也需要访问Typelib。确保在你的打字单上运行热度并包括它。Heat将生成所有需要的注册表项。多酷啊!

为COM互操作注册。net程序集，兼容x86/x64

如果你想知道，这实际上是一个ASCOM望远镜驱动程序。

首先，我采纳了上面的建议，在一个单独的文件中创建了一些平台变量，你可以在XML中看到这些变量。

接近顶部的if-then-else部分处理x86 vs x64兼容性。我的程序集目标是“任何CPU”，所以在x64系统上，我需要注册它两次，一次在64位注册表中，一次在32位Wow6432Node区域中。if-then-else为我设置了这个，这些值稍后在foreach循环中使用。这样，我只需要编写一次注册表项(DRY原则)。

file元素指定实际安装和注册的程序集dll:

<File Id="filDriverAssembly" Source="$(var.TiGra.Astronomy.AWRDriveSystem.TargetPath)" KeyPath="yes" Vital="yes" Assembly=".net" AssemblyApplication="filDriverAssembly"  />

没有什么革命性的东西，但是请注意Assembly=".net" -这个属性本身就会导致程序集被放入GAC，这不是我想要的。使用AssemblyApplication属性指向它本身只是阻止Wix将文件放入GAC的一种方法。现在Wix知道它是一个。net程序集，但是，它允许我在XML中使用某些绑定器变量，例如!(bind.assemblyFullname.filDriverAssembly)来获取程序集的全名。
