visual studio自定义必备组件

目的

我们希望在visual studio生成安装包时候有些必备组件如.net framework可以打包进安装包，这样可以避免在安装exe应用程序的时候需提前安装这些组件，我们可以在解决方案管理器-右键项目名称或者安装项目setup，选择属性-prerequisites-选择需要预安装的组件。

但是visual studio自带的可选组件只有一些.net framework组件或SQL Server组件，有时候我们希望将一些特定的驱动或者环境也打包进安装包中，这时候就需要我们添加这些驱动或者环境到visual studio的系统必备组件可选列表中。

方法

1.找到系统中存放这些必备组件的位置，我的是C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\ClickOnce Bootstrapper\Packages，里面有现在visual studio必备组件对应的文件夹，这个位置跟你安装时候路径选择有关，如果不是这个路径的话可以看一下C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages
或者C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages
或者C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages
或者C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages

2.在这个路径下创建一个你要添加的组件对应的文件夹，文件夹的名自定义，可以为你要添加的组件名，如UpdateConsentDialog

3.在创建的组件目录下将你要添加的组件copy如CH341SER.EXE进来

4.在创建的组件目录下创建一个product.xml文件，里面填入

<Product
  xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/2004/01/bootstrapper"
  ProductCode="Microsoft.Sample.EULA">
  <!-- Defines the list of files to be copied on build. -->
  <PackageFiles CopyAllPackageFiles="false">
    <PackageFile Name="CH341SER.EXE"/>
  </PackageFiles>

  <!-- Defines how to run the Setup package.-->
  <Commands >
    <Command PackageFile = "CH341SER.EXE" Arguments=''>
      <ExitCodes>
        <ExitCode Value="0" Result="Success" />
        <ExitCode Value="-1" Result="Fail" String="AU_Unaccepted" />
        <DefaultExitCode Result="Fail"
          FormatMessageFromSystem="true" String="GeneralFailure" />
      </ExitCodes>
    </Command>
  </Commands>

</Product>

注意这里的PackageFile Name与Command PackageFile都要填你之前copy进文件夹的组件，也就是你需要预安装的组件，这里是CH341SER.EXE

5.在UpdateConsentDialog路径下创建一个文件夹名为en

6.在en文件夹下创建一个eula.rtf文件，里面填入

7.在en文件夹中创建一个package.xml文件，里面填入

<Package
  xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/2004/01/bootstrapper"
  Name="DisplayName"
  Culture="Culture"
  LicenseAgreement="eula.rtf">
  <PackageFiles>
    <PackageFile Name="eula.rtf"/>
  </PackageFiles>

  <!-- Defines a localizable string table for error messages. -->
  <Strings>
    <String Name="DisplayName">Update Consent Dialog</String>
    <String Name="Culture">en</String>
    <String Name="AU_Unaccepted">The automatic update agreement is not accepted.</String>
    <String Name="GeneralFailure">A failure occurred attempting to launch the setup.</String>
  </Strings>
</Package>

注意这里的DiaplayName后面填的名称就是将会出现在visual studio必备组件列表中的名称，我这里填的是Update Consent Dialog

8.也可以在UpdateConsentDialog文件夹中添加一些文件夹如de表示德语，fr表示法语，里面的文件基本相同，但是换成对应语法的。当然这些不是一定要的，看个人意愿和需求

9.这些添加完毕后，重新打开visual studio的必备组件，就能发现多了一个名为Update Consent Dialog的组件
