[WiX-users] Customized downloaded MSI location

[Mohamed Yasir]

Hi,

I am using Wix toolset 3.8. I have created custom bootstrapper application
for creating web installer setup.

It downloads MSI file from online.In Default,downloaded MSI was stored in
%programdata%\Package Cache location.

Is there any way to change the default download location of msi?

Can you please share any idea on this?

Regards,
Mohamed Yasir K

Not sure I understand, but if you want to modify MsiPackage/@DownloadUrl at
runtime, you can do that in your ResolveSource handler. The package at the
URL you specify must be the exact same package as was available to Burn when
the setup was compiled or you will get hash failures. There is a 1:1
relationship between your bundle and each package which was used at the time
the bundle was compiled. As for code in your ResolveSource handler, look at
how it is implemented in in the wix src\Setup\WixBA.

Hi,

Consider following scenario, Sum of Download Size and Installation size
having more than the System Drive available size. In this case, user having
enough space for installation files. But not having space for store the
downloaded files in system drive. So want to change the download location.

Could you please share any idea to change the package download location? Is
it possible to change download location.

At least in WiX v3.10 (maybe v3.9) you can set the package cache location via policy:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\WiX\***@PackageCache

That is a machine wide setting for users that need to move the package cache to a different drive.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

But changing the Package location is not my requirement.

In Offline installer, we are placing installer setup anywhere in the
machine. After installation, the msi file will resides in PackageCache
folder.

For ex, consider installer placed in Desktop location and trigger the
installation from there. After installation original setup present in
Desktop location as well as MSI/EXE files present in packagecache location.

Like this, in Web installer MSI should be download in custom location and
installation of that MSI will get trigger from downloaded location. After
installation MSI/EXE files resides in packagecache location and original
file resides in Downloaded location.

Is there any way to do like this? If So, please share the details for change
the download location in Web Installer.

Mohamed Yasir K
