Hi there,
I am completely a freshman to WiX. And I am learning how to build a managed
CA dll and execute it in MSI.
First, I have read the following sections in WiX Documentation (WiX.chm)
shipped by the wix setup 3.7 (the lastest):
"Developing for WiX"
-->"Developing WiX Extensions"
-->"Creating a Simple WiX Extension"
and
-->"Add Custom Actions"
Second, I noticed some sections in the DTF.chm.
"Deployment Tools Foundation Development Guide"
-->"Managed Customs Actions'
-->"Writing Managed Custom Actions"
-->"Specifying the Runtime Version"
and
-->"Sample C# Customs Actions"
and
-->"Building Managed Custom Actions".
Are these sections of the two documents talking about the same thing?
In Wix.chm, it says users have to inherit the WixExtension class and add the
AssemblyDefaultWixExtensionAttribute to your AssemblyInfo.cs, then after
building it we get the dll file, and reference it in wxs project
But in DFT.chm does not mention the WixExtension class, and the building step
is more complicated than that in Wix.chm: First compliing and second wrapping.
I just want to write a very simple test that a custom managed CA dll prompts a
messagebox (MessageBox.Show("..")) during the installaton.
What should I do?
By the way, May I ask where can I download the examples mentioned in the
Wix.chm and the DFT.chm.
Thanks.
