Creation is not easy, form a habit, quality three even!

The GO-MSI package helps developers generate MSI packages for GO projects.

This tool is part of the Go-Github – Release Workflow.

You can see more examples here.

use

The required environment

• A windows machine (see here for an appveyor file, see here for unix friendly users)
• For Windows users check this out, for Unix users check this out
• Wix > = 3.10
• Add wiX binary location to yourPATH
• usecheck-envSubcommand to get the report

workflow

A simple example:

• Create a similarthis 的 wix.jsonfile
• You have to use it for every applicationgo-msi set-guidTo set the GUID.
• runGo-msi make --msi your_program. Msi --version 0.0.2

The configuration file

The wix.json file describes the packaging rules between your source code and the generated MSI file.

See the demo JSON file

If not, submit an ISSEUE

Be sure to read documentation and StackOverflow carefully when you run into problems

• Wixtoolset.org/documentati…
• Stackoverflow.com/questions/t…

If you want to know what INSTALLDIR, [INSTALLDIR] is, which is part of the WiX rules, check out their documentation.

The certificate file

Note the license file, which must be an RTF file and must be encoded in Windows1252charset. I’ve provided some tools to help solve this problem.

Wix template

For simplicity, we have provided a default installation process that you can view here

You can create a new one for your own personalization. You just need to pay attention to recreating the existing GO template. Defines “files”, “directories”, “environment variables”, “licenses”, and “shortcuts”.

I think most of your changes are to the Wixui_Hk.wXS file.
