How to pack a installation (framework + application) in one executable?

时间:2022-03-31 22:39:59

I'd like to create a file 'setup.exe' that contains one application that I developed in C#, and the setup of .Net framework 4.0.

我想创建一个文件'setup.exe',其中包含我在C#中开发的一个应用程序,以及.Net framework 4.0的设置。

The idea is: When I execute the 'setup.exe' this one will check if have the .net framework 4.0 installed on the computer, and if don't install it!

我的想法是:当我执行'setup.exe'时,会检查计算机上是否安装了.net framework 4.0,如果不安装它!

Using InstallShield 2009.

Anyone knows how to do this?

谁知道怎么做?

Let me know if don't understand anything.

如果不明白,请告诉我。

Thanks.

谢谢。

Regarding setup you can use the built-in mechanism which come with Visual Studio, they allow for example to make setup.exe automatically check if the needed framework version is installed and install it if not present - for a good starting see MSDN.

关于设置,您可以使用Visual Studio附带的内置机制,例如,它们允许setup.exe自动检查是否安装了所需的框架版本,如果不存在则安装它 - 为了一个好的开始,请参阅MSDN。

Regarding making your application/EXE consist of 1 file including all managed dependencies you have several options:

关于使您的应用程序/ EXE包含1个文件(包括所有托管依赖项),您有以下几种选择:

  • use ILMerge (free)
    For howto see here and here
  • 使用ILMerge(免费)如何在这里和这里看到

OR

要么

  • use some tool like SmartAssembly (commercial)
    it can embed and merge among other things (no need to change your source code)
  • 使用像SmartAssembly(商业)这样的工具,它可以嵌入和合并其他东西(无需更改源代码)

OR

要么

  • code that yourself in less than 10 lines (free but minimal source code change)
    mark all needed dependencies as "embedded resource" - this way they are included in the EXE file... you need to setup an AssemblyResolve handler which at runtime reads from Resources and returns the needed DLLs to the .NET runtime...
  • 你自己少于10行的代码(免费但最小的源代码更改)将所有需要的依赖项标记为“嵌入式资源” - 这样它们就包含在EXE文件中......你需要设置一个AssemblyResolve处理程序,它在运行时读取资源并将所需的DLL返回给.NET运行时...

There are many frameworks for creating setups.
My favorite one is WIX, you can download it from here: http://wix.sourceforge.net/
There's also a framework for creating WIX interfaces using C#, called sharpsetup, you can download it from here: http://sharpsetup.eu/ but I'm not sure it's gonna suit your needs, as the target machine might not have .NET to start with(although it might be possible to write the setup in .NET 2.0, I'm not sure).

有许多用于创建设置的框架。我最喜欢的是WIX,您可以从这里下载:http://wix.sourceforge.net/还有一个使用C#创建WIX接口的框架,名为sharpsetup,您可以从这里下载:http:// sharpsetup。 eu /但我不确定它是否适合你的需求,因为目标机器可能没有.NET开始(尽管可能在.NET 2.0中编写设置,我不确定)。

Learning WIX can take some time, but once you are past this, it shouldn't be too hard to do what you want.

学习WIX可能需要一些时间,但是一旦你过了这个,做你想做的事情应该不会太难。

Is viable to pack your full (splitted) setup in a self-extractor? You can use WinRar or similar to build a compressed exe with "autorun".

是否可以在自动提取器中打包完整(拆分)设置?您可以使用WinRar或类似方法使用“autorun”构建压缩的exe。

Not possible with the standard InstallShield 2009, as far as I know. You have to have at least InstallShield 2010 (with the Installshield 2010 Expansion Pack for Visual Studio 2010).

据我所知,标准的InstallShield 2009是不可能的。您必须至少拥有InstallShield 2010(使用适用于Visual Studio 2010的Installshield 2010扩展包)。

I do not know if there is a way to "hack" it in...

我不知道是否有办法“破解”它......

I resolved this question, creating a custom action, this one would be 'Open executable' type and I called this custom action in a button event of the wizard.

我解决了这个问题,创建了一个自定义操作,这个是“Open executable”类型,我在向导的按钮事件中调用了这个自定义操作。
