wix 操作 ini 文本 文件

What we can do with the Ini file 

//z 2012-08-21 17:35:55 IS2120@CSDN.T2347462763[T12,L1149,R8,V93]
These are the options we have when we add/delete value:

• Create a new entry or update it if entry already exist.
• Create a new entry if it does not exist.
• Remove entry.
• Create a new entry or append a tag if entry already exist.
• Remove a tag from the entry.  If entry becomes empty, it will be removed.

Also, keep in mind that if you delete a last entry in the .ini file, file will be deleted.

How it translates to WiX?

To create/delete entries:

IniFile/Action	RemoveIniFile/ Action	<IniFile> attribute	Description
msidbIniFileActionAddLine (0)		Action="addLine"	Create or update an .ini entry.
msidbIniFileActionCreateLine (1)		Action="createLine"	Create an .ini entry if entry does not exist.
msidbIniFileActionAddTag (3)		Action="addTag"	Creates a new entry or appends value to existing entry.
	msidbIniFileActionRemoveLine (2)	Action="removeLine"	Removes an entry.
	msidbIniFileActionRemoveTag (4)	Action="removeTag"	Removes a tag from an entry.  If entry's value becomes empty, entry is removed.

Examples

• Create a new entry if it does not exist: 

     <IniFileId="Ini1"

              Action="createLine"

              Directory="INSTALLLOCATION"

              Section="Test"

              Name="Minimal.ini"

              Key="TestKey"

              Value="TestValue" />

 Creates this:

[Test]

TestKey=TestValue

• Add a tag to already existing entry:

     <IniFileId="Ini1"

              Action="addTag"

              Directory="INSTALLLOCATION"

              Section="Test"

              Name="Minimal.ini"

              Key="TestKey"

              Value="TestValue2" />

Creates this:

[Test]

TestKey=TestValue,TestValue2

• Remove a tag:

     <IniFileId="Ini1"

              Action="removeTag"

              Directory="INSTALLLOCATION"

              Section="Test"

              Name="Minimal.ini"

              Key="TestKey"

              Value="TestValue" />

Creates this:

[Test]

TestKey=TestValue2
