Building MSIs for different arch's can sometimes confuse MSBuild and
Wix, isntead run the toolchain externally so we don't have to worry
about which arch cmd.exe is running as.
Noteworthy installer improvements provided here:
* Support in the Installer UI for not installing shortcuts.
* Support in the Installer UI for choosing a custom install directory.
* Command line support for not installing shortcuts (ADDDEFAULT=nodejs)
* Command line support for custom install directory (INSTALLDIR=c:\tools\node)
- Fix: it didn't work for the x86 version of node
- Also add NPM to path
- Also print node version
- Don't change dir to home dir if not started from the start menu
This commit enables ETW events to be fired on Windows for existing
DTrace probes. ETW instrumentation is enabled by default. It
is possible to build node.exe without ETW instrumentation by
using --without-etw option with configure script.
The current WiX project files do some manual processing and generation
which WiX supports doing out of the box. This patch will use the
HeatDirectory task to generate the npm.wxs file and use the auto GUID
generation. I also changed the msi filename generation to include the
version number to match the currently used name for released msi files.
Closes#3360
* Update nodemsi.sln and .wixproj to include support for x64 platform
- Add ProgramFilesFolderId to the DefineConstants property for each
configuration/platform's property group with the appropriate value
(ProgramFilesFolder for x86 builds, ProgramFiles64Folder for x64
builds)
* Update product.wxs:
- update the Id value for the "Program Files" Directory element to
use a preprocessor constant.
- remove hard-coded platform from the Package element. MSI platform
will be automatically detected based on MSBuild's Platform property.
(This was already supported in the Wix MSBuild targets, we just
weren't taking advantage of it.)
* Update vcbuild.bat to set MSBuild's Platform property appropriately,
defaulting to x86 if not explicitly supplied by the user. Note that
creating an x64 build requires that vcbuild.bat be run from a VS
64-bit command prompt.
