!LINK! Download The Windows Installer Software Development Kit

You can find the components of the Microsoft Windows Installer Software Development Kit (SDK) in the Windows SDK. The Windows SDK includes redistributable components, documentation, an installer database validation tool, a database table editor, database schema, development tools, Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) tools, a sample product, and code samples.

We currently use WiX for building our MSI files, and as such it is the only MSI builder I have had experience using. I know you can build installers natively in Visual Studio though. What are the differences between using WiX and Windows Installer, and what the pros and cons are of each?

I just want to add some more specific technical information on the Windows Installer technology itself, and some of the history leading up to the creation of the WiX toolkit since this post may be found by people who are just getting into the field of installers, WiX and Windows Installer.

It is actually possible to make good MSI files without knowing too much about the inner workings of the MSI file - provided you follow WiX best practices - and trust me as a developer you will want to stay out of MSI files. They are complex, and distinctively unorthodox and counterintuitive for a developer mindset. It has to do with the complexity of storing a whole installer as a single database. It is almost entirely declarative and not procedural - but some parts are sequential and define installation order. Lots of moving parts and a clockwork of "conspiratory complexity" (gotchas that you discover as you thought everything was fine).

Hey @aknobbe! The cross-compilation image for windows installers was recently updated (see -ownCloud-client-win32/pull/1/files) to update openSUSE's 42.1 references to its new name precisely to prevent what you're seeing. Run docker pull guruz/docker-owncloud-client-win32 to test it out!

@aknobbe hm... just checked and indeed something's looking wrong on the generated installers. We're trying to determine what's failing in the toolchain used in the compilation. In the meantime, I've uploaded an snapshot I have from the old image to -owncloud-client-win32/ (use docker pull alfageme/docker-owncloud-client-win32:snapshot)

You can download source code packages and Windows installers which are automatically created each time code is checked into the source code repository. These packages are available in the automated build section of our download area.

Network Installer: A minimal installer which later downloads packages required for installation. Only the packages selected during the selection phase of the installer are downloaded. This installer is useful for users who want to minimize download time.

Full Installer: An installer which contains all the components of the CUDA Toolkit and does not require any further download. This installer is useful for systems which lack network access and for enterprise deployment.

The installer can be executed in silent mode by executing the package with the -s flag. Additional parameters can be passed which will install specific subpackages instead of all packages. See the table below for a list of all the subpackage names.

Alternatively, you can configure your project always to build with the most recently installed version of the CUDA Toolkit. First add a CUDA build customization to your project as above. Then, right click on the project name and select Properties. Under CUDA C/C++, select Common, and set the CUDA Toolkit Custom Dir field to $(CUDA_PATH) . Note that the $(CUDA_PATH) environment variable is set by the installer.

This installer includes the PostgreSQL server, pgAdmin; a graphical tool for managing and developingyour databases, and StackBuilder; a package manager that can be used to download and installadditional PostgreSQL tools and drivers. Stackbuilder includes management,integration, migration, replication, geospatial, connectors and other tools.

I just tried the 11.0.0 64-bit installer, and the option to add LLVM

to PATH does work for me.I know that the install system we use (NSIS) has problems when the

existing PATH is long though. I believe it supports up to a maximum of

8192 characters. Could it be that you have a PATH which is longer than

this, and it doesn't work for this reason?Regarding the desktop shortcut, I think the installer provides that

option because of how it's generated (NSIS installer generated by

CMake). The option doesn't really make sense since there's no useful

program to provide a shortcut to (which I guess is why it doesn't

work), but I haven't been able to find a way to remove that checkbox.(If you're curious, this is where the installer gets configured:

-project/blob/llvmorg-11.0.0/llvm/CMakeLists.txt#L230)Thanks,

You can either download binaries or source code archives for the latest stable or previous release or access the current development (aka nightly) distribution through Git. This software may not be exported in violation of any U.S. export laws or regulations. For more information regarding Export Control matters, please visit our Legal page.

Tauri applications for Windows are either distributed as Microsoft Installers (.msi files) using the WiX Toolset v3 or starting with Tauri v1.3 as setup executables (-setup.exe files) using NSIS. The Tauri CLI bundles your application binary and additional resources. Please note that .msi installers can only be created on Windows as cross-compilation doesn't work yet. Cross-compilation for NSIS installers is experimental and being worked on.

If you need to build for ARM64 you first need to install additional build tools. To do this, open Visual Studio Installer, click on "Modify", and in the "Individual Components" tab install the "C++ ARM64 build tools". At the time of writing, the exact name in VS2022 is MSVC v143 - VS 2022 C++ ARM64 build tools (Latest).

Now you can add the rust target with rustup target add aarch64-pc-windows-msvc and then use the above-mentioned method to compile your app:

Only the NSIS target supports ARM64 targets, so if you configured tauri to compile all bundle types you may want to change the above command to tauri build --target aarch64-pc-windows-msvc --bundles nsis to only build the NSIS installer.

By default, the Microsoft Installer (.msi) does not work on Windows 7 because it needs to download the WebView2 bootstrapper if not installed (which might fail if TLS 1.2 is not enabled in the operating system). Tauri includes an option to embed the WebView2 bootstrapper (see the Embedding the WebView2 Bootstrapper section below). The NSIS based installer (-setup.exe) also supports the downloadBootstrapper mode on Windows 7.

The installers by default download the WebView2 bootstrapper and executes it if the runtime is not installed. Alternatively, you can embed the bootstrapper, embed the offline installer, or use a fixed WebView2 runtime version. See the following table for a comparison between these methods:

This is the default setting for building the Windows Installer. It downloads the bootstrapper and runs it. Requires an internet connection but results in a smaller installer size. This is not recommended if you're going to be distributing to Windows 7 via .msi installers.

To embed the WebView2 Bootstrapper, set the webviewInstallMode to offlineInstaller. This increases the installer size by around 127MB, but allows your application to be installed even if an internet connection is not available.

The Windows Installer XML defined by Tauri is configured to work for the common use case of simple webview-based applications (you can find it here). It uses handlebars so the Tauri CLI can brand your installer according to your tauri.conf.json definition. If you need a completely different installer, a custom template file can be configured on tauri.bundle.windows.wix.template.

Note that ComponentGroup, Component, FeatureGroup, Feature and Merge element ids must be referenced on the wix object of tauri.conf.json on the componentGroupRefs, componentRefs, featureGroupRefs, featureRefs and mergeRefs respectively to be included in the installer.

The NSIS Installer's .nsi script defined by Tauri is configured to work for the common use case of simple webview-based applications (you can find it here). It uses handlebars so the Tauri CLI can brand your installer according to your tauri.conf.json definition. If you need a completely different installer, a custom template file can be configured on tauri.bundle.windows.nsis.template on Tauri v1.4 and above.

The NSIS Installer is a multi-language installer, which means you always have a single installer which contains all the selected translations. You can specify which languages to include using the tauri.bundle.windows.nsis.languages property. A list of languages supported by NSIS is available in the NSIS GitHub project. There are a few Tauri-specific translations required, so if you see untranslated texts feel free to open a feature request in Tauri's main repo. Starting with v1.4 you can also provide custom translation files.

The WiX Installer is built using the en-US language by default. Internationalization (i18n) can be configured using the tauri.bundle.windows.wix.language property, defining the languages Tauri should build an installer against. You can find the language names to use in the Language-Culture column on Microsoft's website. 17dc91bb1f
