Ruffle installer (.msi)

Prerequisites

To build the msi, you need to set up your environment first:

• Install wix (dotnet tool install --global wix)
• wix extension add -g WixToolset.UI.wixext to add the UI extension
• wix extension add -g WixToolset.Util.wixext to add the util extension
• Build Ruffle desktop for releases (cargo build --release)
  • or at least have a prebuilt exe ready to go at target/release/ruffle_desktop.exe (inside repository root)

Environment variables

RUFFLE_VERSION (required)

This should be set to the version of Ruffle that this MSI contains. The format should either be 1.2.3 or 1.2.3.4 - however the fourth value is IGNORED by Windows for "is it the same version or newer" checks.

CARGO_BUILD_DIR (optional)

This should be set to the folder that contains ruffle_desktop. The default value is ../../../../target/release.

Build

In this directory, run: wix build ruffle.wxs -ext WixToolset.UI.wixext -ext WixToolset.Util.wixext -arch x64

You can change -arch to x86 to mark the msi as x86 (and install to, for example, Program Files (x86))

Add -pdbtype none to disable generation of the .wixpdb if you wish.

Add -o foo.msi to control where the MSI is placed.
