| 25 | <h3>Updating files in a product layout</h3> | ||
| 26 | <p>The InstallPackage class makes it easy to work with files and cabinets | ||
| 27 | in the context of a compressed or uncompressed product layout.</p> | ||
| 28 | <p>This hypothetical example takes an IDictionary 'files' which maps file keys to file paths. Each | ||
| 29 | file is to be updated in the package layout; cabinets are even recompressed if necessary to include the new files.</p> | ||

| 31 | DatabaseOpenMode.Transact)) | ||
| 32 | { | ||
| 33 | pkg.WorkingDirectory = Path.Combine(Path.GetTempFolder(), <font color=purple>"pkgtmp"</font>); | ||

| 45 | <p>1. Create a <a href="DTFAPI.chm::/html/Overload_Microsoft_Deployment_WindowsInstaller_Package_InstallPackage__ctor.htm">new InstallPackage</a> | ||
| 46 | instance referring to the location of the .msi. This is actually just a specialized subclass of a Database.</p> | ||
| 47 | <p>2. Set the <a href="DTFAPI.chm::/html/P_Microsoft_Deployment_WindowsInstaller_Package_InstallPackage_WorkingDirectory.htm">WorkingDirectory</a>. | ||
| 48 | This is the root directory where the package expects to find the new source files.</p> | ||
| 49 | <p>3. Copy each file to its proper location in the working directory. The | ||
| 50 | <a href="DTFAPI.chm::/html/P_Microsoft_Deployment_WindowsInstaller_Package_InstallPackage_Files.htm">InstallPackage.Files</a> | ||
| 51 | property is used to look up the relative source path of each file.</p> | ||
| 52 | <p>4. Call <a href="DTFAPI.chm::/html/Overload_Microsoft_Deployment_WindowsInstaller_Package_InstallPackage_UpdateFiles.htm">InstallPackage.UpdateFiles</a> | ||
| 53 | with the list of file keys. This will re-compress and package the files if necessary, and also update the | ||
| 54 | following data: File.FileSize, File.Version, File.Language, MsiFileHash.HashPart*.</p> | ||
| 55 | <p>5. Commit the database changes and cleanup the working directory.</p> | ||
