From 229242cf7c328b89b5aa65ed7a04e33c8b93b393 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rob Mensching Date: Thu, 14 Jul 2022 15:19:53 -0700 Subject: Rename "samples" segment to "tools" This segment is a bit of a "miscellaneous section" in the WiX repo. As such it has been difficult to name. I originally eschewed the name "tools" because what is in the "wix" segment was once called "tools". However, now that wix.exe is firmly established as the entry point for WiX operations, I've become comfortable with its segment being named "wix". That meant "tools" was again available and "tools" better describes the content of this section. --- .../Dtf/Documents/Guide/Content/powerdiff.htm | 71 ---------------------- 1 file changed, 71 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 src/samples/Dtf/Documents/Guide/Content/powerdiff.htm (limited to 'src/samples/Dtf/Documents/Guide/Content/powerdiff.htm') diff --git a/src/samples/Dtf/Documents/Guide/Content/powerdiff.htm b/src/samples/Dtf/Documents/Guide/Content/powerdiff.htm deleted file mode 100644 index f420b47e..00000000 --- a/src/samples/Dtf/Documents/Guide/Content/powerdiff.htm +++ /dev/null @@ -1,71 +0,0 @@ - - - MSI, MSP, CAB Diff Tool - - - - - - -

The following types of inputs can be diffed: -

    -
  • Directories: files and subdirectories are compared.
    • -
  • Cab files: internal file list and files are compared.
    • -
  • MSI/MSM database files: summary info, tables, and embedded binary and cab streams are compared.
    • -
  • MSP files: summary info and embedded file cab are compared. When a patch target MSI is provided, the MSP's tables are also compared.
    • -
  • Versioned files: Win32 file version is compared.
    • -
  • Text files: if diff.exe is in the path, it is used to get a line-by-line diff.
    • -
  • Other files: file size and bytes are compared.
    • -
- All processing is done recursively. So a versioned file within a cab within an MSI within a directory will have meaningful diff results.
