| 26 | <p>The build process for managed CA DLLs is a little complicated becuase of the | ||
| 27 | proxy-wrapper and dll-export requirements. Here's an overview:</p> | ||
| 28 | <ol> | ||
| 29 | <li> | ||
| 30 | <p>Compile your CA assembly, which references WixToolset.Dtf.WindowsInstaller.dll and | ||
| 31 | marks exported custom actions with a CustomActionAttribute.</p> | ||
| 32 | <li> | ||
| 33 | <p>Package the CA assembly, CustomAction.config, WixToolset.Dtf.WindowsInstaller.dll, | ||
| 34 | and any other dependencies using <b>MakeSfxCA.exe</b>. The filenames of CustomAction.config | ||
| 35 | and WixToolset.Dtf.WindowsInstaller.dll must not be changed, since | ||
| 36 | the custom action proxy specifically looks for those files.</p> | ||
| 37 | </ol> | ||
| 38 | <p><br> | ||
| 39 | </p> | ||
| 40 | <p><b>Compiling</b></p> | ||
| 41 | <pre><font face="Consolas, Courier New"> | ||
| 42 | csc.exe | ||
| 43 | /target:library | ||
| 44 | /r:$(DTFbin)\WixToolset.Dtf.WindowsInstaller.dll | ||
| 45 | /out:SampleCAs.dll | ||
| 46 | *.cs | ||
| 47 | </font></pre> | ||
| 48 | <p><b>Wrapping</b><pre><font face="Consolas, Courier New"> | ||
| 49 | MakeSfxCA.exe | ||
| 50 | $(OutDir)\SampleCAsPackage.dll | ||
| 51 | $(DTFbin)\SfxCA.dll | ||
| 52 | SampleCAs.dll | ||
| 53 | CustomAction.config | ||
| 54 | $(DTFbin)\WixToolset.Dtf.WindowsInstaller.dll | ||
| 55 | </font></pre> | ||
| 56 | </p> | ||
| 57 | <p>Now the resulting package, SampleCAsPackage.dll, is ready to be inserted | ||
| 58 | into the Binary table of the MSI.</p> | ||
| 59 | <p><br/> | ||
| 60 | </p> | ||
| 61 | <p>For a working example of building a managed custom action package | ||
| 62 | you can look at included sample ManagedCAs project.</p> | ||
