Hello Tom, please, how to customize the wxs in order to NOT get shortcut on desktop after installation? In case of owncloud, owncloud shortcut on desktop is being placed on every user's desktop - I do not want that...

Thanks!

Hello, I am unable to "compile" the owncloud installer :/

I need to create a MSI package for flexera agent in windows. I have few .dll files and ndtrack.exe. I tried modifying the nextcloud.wxs lines 2-6 and then ran make_installer.bat file. The msi is created but on double clicking, it doesnt work. How am I suppose to know if its really working or I ve missed including dll files in the package?

Great job on this. I have a question regarding signing the installer. We currently copy the mirall exe installer out of opensuse and sign it on a windows box before deployment (to avoid smart screen warnings). Would we still need to sign the exe before using your wrapper? Would we need to sign the resulting msi instead/as well as?

Please forgive my ignorance about Windows installers. I'm a *nix guy and while I use Windows regularly, I've never developed for that platform. Thanks so much for working on a solution to this issue with OC.

Hi, i am looking to simplify the way a msi is created.

My first question is: the UpgradeCode, is it really used? If i wrap an exe, let's say, the vlc_installer.exe. The newly created msi will install VLC for me, but in the uninstall list of windows i can see VLC, which is normal, but not this msi. Is it self-uninstalling right after? Does that mean that i don't really need the GUIDs and i can auto-generate them?

I am looking to remove the upgrade portion, get rid of ProductUpgradeCode guid and autogenerate the ProductCode guid. I already did this and it seems to be working fine. Are there any risks i should worry about?

Thank you.

Thank you for publishing this useful script. Would it be possible to re-license it under a more liberal license, such as the MIT License? Thanks in advance!

Hello, will you update for 2.0 client?
