- Separate 64 and 32 bit MSIs
- Add wix bundle to combine MSIs into single installer
- Use basic wix UI
- Use merge modules to install vcredist package
- Add script to locate vcredist merge modules
- Fix installer status text by adding WixUI_ErrorProgressText ref
Merge modules seems to be the preferred method for installing the
redistributable package, which should decrease the package size and
speed up installation. This commit also addresses a bug where the
installer does not work when VC redistributable is not already
installed.
The 32 and 64 bit components were split into separate MSIs because
Windows Installer only officially supports packages containing a
single architecture. A package bundle is then created containing both
MSIs so only a single file needs to be distributed.
There seemed to be no trivial way to get the path to the vcredist
merge modules bundled with visual studio so I added a script
(locate-vcredist.bat) that handles this. It will need to be updated in
the future for compatibility with newer VS platform toolsets.
Some paths and name were changed, here's a summary:
32-bit install path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Chez Scheme 9.4.1\
64-bit install path: C:\Program Files\Chez Scheme 9.4.1\
installer file name: ChezScheme.exe
installer product name: Chez Scheme 9.4.1 x64
