Hi,
I am trying to install MSI from Bootstrapper. Install location for that msi
should be specified from the text box in Bootstrapper UI. I followed this
below example. in this example I added a text box for getting install
location and I added below code pieces,and MyBurnVariable1 gets the value
from the textbox when bootstrapper is loaded for first time through Run
method, After the bootstrapper is loaded if I change text box value then
start to run the msi MyBurnVariable1 is not assigned with text box value
because Run method is not executed now, what should I do to resolve this?
I am following the below example.
http://bryanpjohnston.com/2012/09/28/custom-wix-managed-bootstrapper-application/
View
<TextBox Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="153,65,0,0" Name
="textBox2" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="120" Text="{Binding Path
=InstallPath, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"/>
ViewModel
private string installPath;
public string InstallPath
{
get { return installPath; }
set
{
installPath = value;
RaisePropertyChanged("InstallPath");
}
}
Bundle
<Variable Name="MyBurnVariable1" bal:Overridable="yes" Type="string" Value="
C:\Myfolder" />
<Chain>
<PackageGroupRef Id='Netfx4Full' />
<MsiPackage SourceFile="
..\DummyInstaller\bin\Release\DummyInstaller.msi" Id="
DummyInstallationPackageId" Cache="yes" Visible="no" >
<MsiProperty Name="INSTALLFOLDER" Value="[MyBurnVariable1]" />
</MsiPackage>
</Chain>
BA
public class TestBA : BootstrapperApplication
{
// global dispatcher
static public Dispatcher BootstrapperDispatcher { get; private set;
}
// entry point for our custom UI
protected override void Run()
{
this.Engine.Log(LogLevel.Verbose, "Launching custom TestBA UX");
BootstrapperDispatcher = Dispatcher.CurrentDispatcher;
MainViewModel viewModel = new MainViewModel(this);
viewModel.Bootstrapper.Engine.Detect();
MainView view = new MainView();
view.DataContext = viewModel;
viewModel.Bootstrapper.Engine.StringVariables["MyBurnVariable1"]
= viewModel.InstallPath;
this.Engine.Log(LogLevel.Verbose, "My String from view: " +
view.textBox2.Text);
this.Engine.Log(LogLevel.Verbose,"My String from view
model: "+ viewModel.InstallPath);
view.Closed += (sender, e) =>
BootstrapperDispatcher.InvokeShutdown();
view.Show();
Dispatcher.Run();
this.Engine.Quit(0);
}
}
