WiX with dynamical resources -
we developing software tool sold other software companies redistributed. deploy our software wix. requests our clients use own style msi (mainly icons, images , titles). not want let customers packaging since sophisticated. possible create msi package wix, resources images , strings can loaded dynamically external resource later on.
i found wix: dynamically add features gives solution dynamically add functionality, not change existing parts.
ok, here comment answer (i hope helpful ;-)).
as don't know exact use case, would:
- create base msi containing binaries, bitmaps , icons (in
binary
-table) - after building msi, invoke vbs-script rerplacing binaries , bitmaps ones of customer.
- send modified msi customer.
if changes rather static create transform file (.mst) containing modifications customer. can merge transform base msi file using e.g. wimerge.vbs
windows sdk located in v7.1\samples\sysmgmt\msi\scripts
. simpler , can integrated build process.
