Comment remplacer un fichier dans un installateur msi?
Je veux remplacer un seul fichier à l'intérieur d'un msi. Comment faire?
Utilisez msi2xml .
Cette commande extrait les fichiers MSI:
msi2xml -c OutputDir TestMSI.MSI
Ouvrez OutputDir et modifiez le fichier.
Pour reconstruire le MSI, exécutez:
xml2msi.exe -m TestMSI.xml
Vous avez besoin du paramètre -m pour ignorer le 'test de somme de contrôle MD5' qui échoue lors de la modification d'un ou plusieurs fichiers MSI.
Vous devez extraire le fichier CAB de votre msi à l’aide de MsiDB.exe (fourni avec le kit d’installation Windows Installer). Exécutez-le à partir de la ligne de commande avec l'option -x et spécifiez le nom du fichier cab - il est répertorié dans le tableau Media de la base de données msi.
Sinon, vous pouvez ignorer cette partie si vous spécifiez l'option "Package Files as:" dans les options VSI et "Compresse dans les fichiers CAB" pour que le fichier cab soit laissé hors du MSI lors de sa création (il sera créé dans le même répertoire comme le msi).
Une fois extrait, vous pouvez modifier le fichier spécifié dans le dossier cab. Son nom a été modifié. Vous devez donc connaître le nom msi du fichier dans la table des fichiers, puis renommer votre nouveau fichier.
Une fois cela fait, vous pouvez le retrouver avec l'utilitaire MsiDB en utilisant l'option -a.
Avant d'ajouter avec -a, vous devez utiliser msidb -k pour supprimer la cabine du MSI .
Essayez InstEd - un éditeur d’installateur à http://www.instedit.com/ . Il a un essai de 30 jours et cela fonctionne pour moi. Vous extrayez les fichiers dans un dossier, éditez, reconstruisez la cabine, puis enregistrez le MSI. Tout sauf l'édition de vos fichiers est fait dans l'interface graphique.
Pas un bon programme, mais j’ai payé 30 dollars pour pouvoir éditer rapidement des fichiers dans le fichier MSI.
Je ne travaille pas pour InstEd ou pour des raisons autres que le paiement et l'utilisation de l'application.
Exemple de code très simple pour remplacer un fichier dans un fichier MSI. Cela ne renvoie pas le nouveau fichier/CAB dans le fichier MSI, mais requiert que le fichier CAB se trouve dans le même répertoire que le fichier MSI pour que l'installation aboutisse. Je suis sûr qu'avec un peu plus d'effort, vous pourriez modifier le code afin de relancer l'ACR.
Const MSI_SOURCE = "application.msi"
Const FILE_REPLACE = "config.xml"
Dim filesys, installer, database, view
Dim objFile, size, result, objCab
Set filesys=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set installer = CreateObject("WindowsInstaller.Installer")
Set database = installer.OpenDatabase (MSI_SOURCE, 1)
Set objFile = filesys.GetFile(FILE_REPLACE)
size = objFile.Size
Set objCab = CreateObject("MakeCab.MakeCab.1")
objCab.CreateCab "config.cab", False, False, False
objCab.AddFile FILE_REPLACE, filesys.GetFileName(FILE_REPLACE)
objCab.CloseCab
Set view = database.OpenView ("SELECT LastSequence FROM Media WHERE DiskId = 1")
view.Execute
Set result = view.Fetch
seq = result.StringData(1) + 1 ' Sequence for new configuration file
Set view = database.OpenView ("INSERT INTO Media (DiskId, LastSequence, Cabinet) VALUES ('2', '" & seq & "', 'config.cab')")
view.Execute
Set view = database.OpenView ("UPDATE File SET FileSize = " & size & ", Sequence = " & seq & " WHERE File = '" & LCase(FILE_REPLACE) & "'")
view.Execute
Ce code n'a été testé que sur 1 fichier, où le nom est exactement le même que celui du fichier remplacé.
mais il faut implémenter la réponse de Christopher Painters en C #, avec DTF (de WIX)
