Hi people,
I'm asking for my .dll files to be ngened during install, at priority 0,
which I understand should take place synchronously, while the install
progress bar increments. But I must be doing something wrong because
instead, they get queued for ngen at priority 3.
To my candle and light commands, I added the option:
-ext WixNetFxExtension
To my wxs file's Wix tag, I added the attribute:
xmlns:netfx="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/NetFxExtension";
In the wxs file, my files look like:
<File Id='Controls.dll'
Name='Controls.dll'
DiskId='1'
Source='..\bin\Controls.dll'>
<netfx:NativeImage Id="NGenControls.dll"
Priority="0"
Platform="32bit"
/>
</File>
After install, running 'ngen display' on the installed dll files shows
the following:
> ngen display Controls.dll
Microsoft (R) CLR Native Image Generator - Version 2.0.50727.3053
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
NGEN Roots:
C:\Program Files\Resolver One\bin\Controls.dll (StatusPending) (Pri 3)
Native Images:
Controls, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null
Controls, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null
Controls, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null
Adding LOGVERBOSE=1 to our command line shows the following entries in
our logfile for each .dll file:
ExecNetFx: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\ngen.exe
install "C:\Program Files\Resolver One\bin\Controls.dll"
ExecNetFx: Microsoft (R) CLR Native Image Generator - Version
2.0.50727.3053
ExecNetFx: Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
ExecNetFx: Installing assembly C:\Program Files\Resolver
One\bin\Controls.dll
ExecNetFx: All compilation targets are up to date.
If I copy the ngen command from the logfile above, and run it manually:
> C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\ngen.exe install "C:\Program
> Files\Resolver One\bin\Controls.dll"
Then the file is ngen'ed immediately and (as far as I can see)
synchronously.
Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong that the same command
executed by the msi install doesn't seem to work?
Changing the <File> tag to request priority 1, 2 or 3 does change the
command visible in the logfile, by adding a "/queue:1" (or 2 or 3)
parameter, and the .dll files are then queued at the requested priority.
So the <File> tag priority attribute does seem to be being recognised
and acted on, except when priority=0.
Many thanks for any suggestions,
Jonathan
