You + should not use GUIDs that you did not generate yourself or which may + belong to other projects. + + A GUID shall have the following fixed length syntax:: + + XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX + + (each X represents an uppercase hexadecimal digit) + +.. variable:: CPACK_WIX_PRODUCT_GUID + + Product GUID (``Product/@Id``) + + Will be automatically generated unless explicitly provided. + + If explicitly provided this will set the Product Id of your installer. + + The installer will abort if it detects a pre-existing installation that + uses the same GUID. + + The GUID shall use the syntax described for CPACK_WIX_UPGRADE_GUID. + +.. variable:: CPACK_WIX_LICENSE_RTF + + RTF License File + + If CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_LICENSE has an .rtf extension it is used as-is. + + If CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_LICENSE has an .txt extension it is implicitly + converted to RTF by the WiX Generator. + The expected encoding of the .txt file is UTF-8. + + With CPACK_WIX_LICENSE_RTF you can override the license file used by the + WiX Generator in case CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_LICENSE is in an unsupported + format or the .txt -> .rtf conversion does not work as expected. + +.. variable:: CPACK_WIX_PRODUCT_ICON + + The Icon shown next to the program name in Add/Remove programs. + + If set, this icon is used in place of the default icon. + +.. variable:: CPACK_WIX_UI_REF + + This variable allows you to override the Id of the ``<UIRef>`` element + in the WiX template. + + The default is ``WixUI_InstallDir`` in case no CPack components have + been defined and ``WixUI_FeatureTree`` otherwise. + +.. variable:: CPACK_WIX_UI_BANNER + + The bitmap will appear at the top of all installer pages other than the + welcome and completion dialogs. + + If set, this image will replace the default banner image. + + This image must be 493 by 58 pixels. + +.. variable:: CPACK_WIX_UI_DIALOG + + Background bitmap used on the welcome and completion dialogs. + + If this variable is set, the installer will replace the default dialog + image. + + This image must be 493 by 312 pixels. + +.. variable:: CPACK_WIX_PROGRAM_MENU_FOLDER + + Start menu folder name for launcher. + + If this variable is not set, it will be initialized with CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME + +.. variable:: CPACK_WIX_CULTURES + + Language(s) of the installer + + Languages are compiled into the WixUI extension library. To use them, + simply provide the name of the culture. If you specify more than one + culture identifier in a comma or semicolon delimited list, the first one + that is found will be used. You can find a list of supported languages at: + http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/WixUI_localization.htm + +.. variable:: CPACK_WIX_TEMPLATE + + Template file for WiX generation + + If this variable is set, the specified template will be used to generate + the WiX wxs file. This should be used if further customization of the + output is required. + + If this variable is not set, the default MSI template included with CMake + will be used. + +.. variable:: CPACK_WIX_PATCH_FILE + + Optional list of XML files with fragments to be inserted into + generated WiX sources + + This optional variable can be used to specify an XML file that the + WiX generator will use to inject fragments into its generated + source files. + + Patch files understood by the CPack WiX generator + roughly follow this RELAX NG compact schema: + + .. code-block:: none + + start = CPackWiXPatch + + CPackWiXPatch = element CPackWiXPatch { CPackWiXFragment* } + + CPackWiXFragment = element CPackWiXFragment + { + attribute Id { string }, + fragmentContent* + } + + fragmentContent = element * - CPackWiXFragment + { + (attribute * { text } | text | fragmentContent)* + } + + Currently fragments can be injected into most + Component, File, Directory and Feature elements. + + The following additional special Ids can be used: + + * ``#PRODUCT`` for the ``<Product>`` element. + * ``#PRODUCTFEATURE`` for the root ``<Feature>`` element. + + The following example illustrates how this works. + + Given that the WiX generator creates the following XML element: + + .. code-block:: xml + + <Component Id="CM_CP_applications.bin.my_libapp.exe" Guid="*"/> + + The following XML patch file may be used to inject an Environment element + into it: + + .. code-block:: xml + + <CPackWiXPatch> + <CPackWiXFragment Id="CM_CP_applications.bin.my_libapp.exe"> + <Environment Id="MyEnvironment" Action="set" + Name="MyVariableName" Value="MyVariableValue"/> + </CPackWiXFragment> + </CPackWiXPatch> + +.. variable:: CPACK_WIX_EXTRA_SOURCES + + Extra WiX source files + + This variable provides an optional list of extra WiX source files (.wxs) + that should be compiled and linked. The full path to source files is + required. + +.. variable:: CPACK_WIX_EXTRA_OBJECTS + + Extra WiX object files or libraries + + This variable provides an optional list of extra WiX object (.wixobj) + and/or WiX library (.wixlib) files. The full path to objects and libraries + is required. + +.. variable:: CPACK_WIX_EXTENSIONS + + This variable provides a list of additional extensions for the WiX + tools light and candle. + +.. variable:: CPACK_WIX_<TOOL>_EXTENSIONS + + This is the tool specific version of CPACK_WIX_EXTENSIONS. + ``<TOOL>`` can be either LIGHT or CANDLE. + +.. variable:: CPACK_WIX_<TOOL>_EXTRA_FLAGS + + This list variable allows you to pass additional + flags to the WiX tool ``<TOOL>``. + + Use it at your own risk. + Future versions of CPack may generate flags which may be in conflict + with your own flags. + + ``<TOOL>`` can be either LIGHT or CANDLE. + +.. variable:: CPACK_WIX_CMAKE_PACKAGE_REGISTRY + + If this variable is set the generated installer will create + an entry in the windows registry key + ``HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Kitware\CMake\Packages\<package>`` + The value for ``<package>`` is provided by this variable. + + Assuming you also install a CMake configuration file this will + allow other CMake projects to find your package with + the :command:`find_package` command. + +.. variable:: CPACK_WIX_PROPERTY_<PROPERTY> + + This variable can be used to provide a value for + the Windows Installer property ``<PROPERTY>`` + + The following list contains some example properties that can be used to + customize information under + "Programs and Features" (also known as "Add or Remove Programs") + + * ARPCOMMENTS - Comments + * ARPHELPLINK - Help and support information URL + * ARPURLINFOABOUT - General information URL + * ARPURLUPDATEINFO - Update information URL + * ARPHELPTELEPHONE - Help and support telephone number + * ARPSIZE - Size (in kilobytes) of the application + +.. variable:: CPACK_WIX_ROOT_FEATURE_TITLE + + Sets the name of the root install feature in the WIX installer. Same as + CPACK_COMPONENT_<compName>_DISPLAY_NAME for components. + +.. variable:: CPACK_WIX_ROOT_FEATURE_DESCRIPTION + + Sets the description of the root install feature in the WIX installer. Same as + CPACK_COMPONENT_<compName>_DESCRIPTION for components. + +.. variable:: CPACK_WIX_SKIP_PROGRAM_FOLDER + + If this variable is set to true, the default install location + of the generated package will be CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY directly. + The install location will not be located relatively below + ProgramFiles or ProgramFiles64. + + .. note:: + Installers created with this feature do not take differences + between the system on which the installer is created + and the system on which the installer might be used into account. + + It is therefore possible that the installer e.g. might try to install + onto a drive that is unavailable or unintended or a path that does not + follow the localization or convention of the system on which the + installation is performed. + +.. variable:: CPACK_WIX_ROOT_FOLDER_ID + + This variable allows specification of a custom root folder ID. + The generator specific ``<64>`` token can be used for + folder IDs that come in 32-bit and 64-bit variants. + In 32-bit builds the token will expand empty while in 64-bit builds + it will expand to ``64``. + + When unset generated installers will default installing to + ``ProgramFiles<64>Folder``. + +.. variable:: CPACK_WIX_ROOT + + This variable can optionally be set to the root directory + of a custom WiX Toolset installation. + + When unspecified CPack will try to locate a WiX Toolset + installation via the ``WIX`` environment variable instead. |
