wix - 自动化wix的小更新和小升级

Question

我只是在wix tutorial中阅读了以下内容。

For some strange reason, small updates and minor upgrades cannot be run simply by clicking on the .msi file—they give the error: "Another version of this product is already installed." We know, stupid... Anyway, you have to start it with the command:

msiexec /i SampleUpgrade2.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus

Don't ask me how this would fare with the average user... You'd better start it from an Autorun.inf file or devise an outer Setup.exe shell to launch it.

我们希望人们能够下载我们应用程序的最新版本并进行安装，即使他们已经安装了较旧的版本。您通常如何处理？

Answer 1

一个词: bootstrap 。 WiX工具集现在有一个简单的 bootstrap (John Robbin的文章很好地写了setupbld.exe)。将来，Burn会做更多的事情。
