windows installer - HOWTO and best working installation (MSI) chainer +/ bootstrapper -


There are several products in our product that customers can establish as separate installation packages (MSI).

We

  1. Show a UI with progress
  2. Allow the user to choose which facilities / packages to install
  3. has the ability to distribute one feature in another (like removing or adding effects)
  4. Support single height (UAC)
  5. Auto updating Good for ability (should not be)
  6. Support command line + silent installation
  7. Package different installations
  8. Increase the error / error for the need for error
  9. Support patch with time and major upgrades

Today, we do all the above work using MSI with nested installation which is poor practice and we face many issues in our solution. / P>

I know there are several bootstraps (M $ generic bootstrap which I think is not good, Burn WIX version that is not mature enough)

Do you know about another Know in That worked and tested already? The best way is (without the integration of MSI in an MSI)

dotNetInstaller looks promising. I was experimenting with it to install Java as a condition. It comes with a GUI editor so you do not need to sort XML to create a project. The Config file is in xml, and the InstallerLinker can be run from the command line. It can be integrated with a build server, although some MSbld work would be good.
