Automation of wsi creation
Hi everyone,
My project:
As a part of my project i have to automate the various processes taking place in the SDLC , I have til now been succesfully able to automate the following processes.
1)Build Process(MSBuild)
2)Coverage Testing (Ncover)
3)QTP Testing (Quick Test Professional)
Packaging Problem:
I should now automate the deployment process, the Wise Installer is the installer that is used . I m now able to automate the creation of the "msi" file by running a batch file like this.
"path\WFWI.EXE" "path\project file" /c /o "path\output file" /s
But this requires the "wsi" file as input and the creation of this is being done manually , i designed an User Interface where the user has options of selecting the 'features','sql server scripts','registry','services' etc for the application and now have been tryin to find ways of programatically creating a 'wsi' file based on those inputs ,the closest i got to it is the following link :
http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=593625
I m using C# to develop my project , can anyone provide inputs as to how i can proceed with the "wsi" creation .

There will be a help file installed with WPS which details [cough...] the Wise Automation Object model. That is about as much information as you're likely to find :(

it is handy to use WIX in your case. There are couple of articles about WIX and MSBuild integration
Rating comments in this legacy AppDeploy message board thread won't reorder them,so that the conversation will remain readable.
