Я хочу заменить один файл внутри MSI. Как это сделать?

Использование msi2xml .

  1. Эта команда извлекает файлы MSI:

    msi2xml -c OutputDir TestMSI.MSI

  2. Откройте OutputDir и измените файл.

  3. Чтобы восстановить MSI, выполните:

    xml2msi.exe -m TestMSI.xml

Вам нужен ключ -m, чтобы игнорировать «проверку контрольной суммы MD5», которая не проходит, когда изменяются файлы MSI.

Вам нужно извлечь поток файлов CAB из msi, используя MsiDB.exe (поставляется с SDK установщика Windows). Запустите его из командной строки с параметром -x и укажите имя cab-файла - оно указано в таблице Media в базе данных msi.

В качестве альтернативы вы можете пропустить эту часть, если указать опцию «Пакетные файлы как:» в параметрах VSI для «Сжатие в кабинетных файлах», чтобы файл cab оставался вне msi при сборке (он будет создан тот же каталог, что и MSI).

После извлечения вы можете изменить указанный файл в папке cab - его имя было искажено, поэтому вам нужно выяснить, какое msi-имя файла содержится в таблице файлов, а затем переименовать новый файл в него.

Как только вы это сделаете, вы можете снова включить его с помощью утилиты MsiDB, используя опцию -a .

Прежде чем добавлять с помощью -a, необходимо использовать msidb -k до Снять кабину с MSI .

Попробуйте InstEd - редактор установщика на http://www.instedit.com/. Он имеет 30-дневную пробную версию, и он работает для меня. Вы извлекаете файлы в папку, редактируете, перестраиваете кабину, а затем сохраняете MSI. Все, кроме редактирования ваших файлов, выполняется в графическом интерфейсе.

Не очень хорошая программа, но я заплатил 30 долларов, чтобы иметь возможность быстро редактировать файлы в MSI.

Я не работаю на InstEd или связан с каким-либо иным способом, кроме как для оплаты и использования приложения.

Этот код был протестирован только для 1 файла, имя которого точно совпадает с именем заменяемого файла.

но он должен реализовывать ответ Кристофера Пейнтерса на C # с DTF (из WIX)

Очень простой пример кода для замены файла внутри MSI. Это не передает новый файл / CAB обратно в MSI, но требует, чтобы CAB находился в том же каталоге, что и MSI, для успешной установки. Я уверен, что немного больше усилий вы могли бы изменить код для потоковой передачи CAB обратно.

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

Самый простой способ сделать это - переупаковать MSI:

  1. Откройте файл MSI в Wise для установщика Windows. Выберите опцию для извлечения файлов.
  2. Найдите файл на диске и замените его.
  3. Сборка MSI.

Эти шаги также должны работать для InstallShield.
