Advice on Gtk# and WIX

Rate this Message:
Hi there, I want to create a wix installer for my Gtk# windows application and I would like to be able to inform the user when Gtk# is not installed on his/her computer yet, or if it needs to be upgraded.
Then I would like to fire up the Gtk# installer (included with my installer) if it needs to be upgraded or installed. Does anyone know of existing WIX libraries/tools/tasks that I might be able to use? Or can someone just point me in the right direction? I believe this is a common scenario, it shouldn't be to difficult right? |

Thanks Libin, but I require gtksharp-2.12. I don't know if i'm missing something but I only see a msi installer available.
I was told that one should not(or cannot) launch more than one msi at the same time? even if this is possible, what WIX action can one use to launch a msi? I looked at the post http://go-mono.com/forums/#nabble-td16301589 where Brad refers to some wix merge modules that will be made available about a year ago. Does anyone know if this realized? if so, where can I get them?

This refers to the location of the exe. It can be 2.8 or 2.12. Just give here the location where you keep the installation package of GTK#. The installation of the GTK# will be done by the WIX setup that you are creating. you can launch multiple number of installers from a WIX project. even I am using 2 from my installer, GTK# and Mono. the following custom action triggers the
installation:
<CustomAction Id="InstallGtk" FileKey="GTKSETUP"
ExeCommand="/silent"
Execute="deferred" Impersonate="no" Return="ignore"/> You can refer WIX tutorial for further assistance. http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/ From:

Does anyone know if this realized? if so, where can I get them? At the GNOME summit two years ago, Mike Kestner and I added a makefile target to gtk-sharp (win32-installer) to allow merge modules to be built. This target still exists, and all you need to do is run `make win32-installer` from a fully built gtk-sharp win32 build to produce a gtk# msm. The idea at the time was that Medsphere (who I was working for at the time) would distribute gtk+ merge modules, and those two combined could provide the complete gtk# stack. Now, I'm no longer employed by Medsphere, so I'm not sure if they still release updated merge modules along with the general gtk-sharp installer. Perhaps someone at Medsphere could speak to this? Hope this helps, -Brad _______________________________________________ Gtk-sharp-list maillist - Gtk-sharp-list@... http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/gtk-sharp-list |
