wix - 产品 ID 和包裹 ID 之间的区别

Question

我是使用 Wix 的新手。所以，正如标题所说。 Product id 和 Package id 有什么区别？或者它们是一回事？谢谢

Answer 1

简而言之，产品代码标识您的应用程序，而包代码是 Windows 安装程序包本身的标识。

您应该阅读并理解以下两篇文章:

Product Codes

Package Codes

这是摘录:

The product and package codes are not interchangeable. No two nonidentical .msi files should ever have the same package code. Although it is common to ship an application that has the same package code and product code, the two values can diverge as the application is updated.

Although it is common to ship an application that has the same package code and product code, the two values can diverge as the application is updated. For example, including a new file with the application would require updating the installation database to install the file. If the changes are minor a developer may choose not to change the product code, however, a different .msi file is needed to install the new file and so the package code must be incremented. Conversely, a single package can be used to install more than one product. For example, the installation of a package without a language transform could install the English version of the application and the installation of the same package with a language transform could install the French version. The transform is distinct from the .msi file that determines the package code. The English and French versions could have different product codes and the same package code because they are both installed with the same .msi file.
