Description of the Change
The change implements a new workflow that allows to build the installers for windows platform using the WiX toolset version 3.14.
Versions
Installers will be generated (supporting Windows 7 platform onward) for the following combinations:
Prerequisites to build
The following software must be available in order to build locally:
Secrets
Two Github secrets are necessary for correct operation of workflow:
CERTIFICATE_FILEsecretOutput
The generated installers have the nomenclature
boinc_{version}_windows_{variant}.exe, where:BOINC_VERSION_STRINGextracted from fileversion.hwhen on CI, if building locally it is the value passed toinstaller.ps1x86_64,x86_64_vbox,arm64)An example name for x64 version 7.24.0.0 would be:
boinc_7.24.0.0_windows_x86_64.exe.Building and Integration
Workflow can be triggered by pushing on
masterbranch.Locally, the 'build' and 'build/prerequisistes' folders must be created, their contents being:
build: the contents of 'manager' and 'client' packages, required binaries (boinc.exe, boincmgr.exe, etc...) are checked for presence and additional files harvested and included in installationprerequisites: if required by the variant (eg. x64+VirtualBox) the fileVirtualBox-7.0.10-158379-Win.exe(https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/7.0.10/VirtualBox-7.0.10-158379-Win.exe) is expected, empty otherwiseAn additional prerequisite to execute the installer UI (bootstrapper application) is .NET 4.8 (4.8.1 if on ARM64), that has to be installed manually by the user prior to launching the installer (unless the user is on Windows 10+, which comes preinstalled with it).
Now the powershell script
installer.ps1can be invoked like so:pwsh -f .\installer.ps1 -Version <version> -Type <type> -Certificate <pfx path> -CertificatePass <pfx password>With 'type' being one of:
x64,x64_vbox,arm64.After finishing execution the result can be found in
build/directory.Release Notes
