How to update WPF browser application manifest and xbap file with ‘mage.exe’

老外参考文章1

老外参考文章2

I created a WPF browser application MyApp then published it by ClickOnce in VS2008.

Published folder like this:

PublishedFolderMyApp.xbap

PublishedFoldersetup.exe

PublishedFolderApplication FilesMyApp_0_0_0_1 MyApp.xbap

PublishedFolderApplication FilesMyApp_0_0_0_1 MyApp.exe.manifest

PublishedFolderApplication FilesMyApp_0_0_0_1 MyApp.exe.deploy

PublishedFolderApplication FilesMyApp_0_0_0_1otherDependedLib.dll.deploy

…

Now, I usually need to modify app.config because I need modify DB connection string and services addresses etc. But after published to application server, I don’t want to republish the version with VS2008. So I find mage.exe tool.

I put mage.exe and MyApp.pfx in “PublishedFolder”

Then I do like so:

mage -Update "Application FilesMyApp_0_0_0_1 MyApp.exe.manifest"

mage -Sign    "Application FilesMyApp_0_0_0_1 MyApp.exe.manifest" -CertFile MyApp.pfx -Password "test"

mage -Update MyApp.xbap -appm "Application FilesMyApp_0_0_0_1 MyApp.exe.manifest"

mage -Sign     MyApp.xbap -CertFile MyApp.pfx -Password "test"

When I run update manifest command, I got "Error MSB3113: Could not find file "otherDependedLib.dll"... ".

My dependent dlls all added ".deploy" for client download.

But update success and I found hash value and sign name value had been changed in MyApp.exe.manifest and MyApp.xbap.

Then I browser the application in IE after cleaned buffer with “mage -cc”.

But I get next error:

ERROR SUMMARY

Below is a summary of the errors, details of these errors are listed later in the log.

* An exception occurred while downloading the manifest. Following failure messages were detected:

                + Downloading http://localhost/MyApp.exe.manifest did not succeed.

                + The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.

Maybe I did some wrong options in mage step, who can tell me the correct method. Thank you!

use a script to remove .deploy first then sign the add it back before signing the xbap

rename *.deploy *.

以上是一个老外在利用脚本发布XBAP中重签名的方法，结合红字部分可以解决问题，经过多方搜索和分析及试验，以下脚本可以完成自动发布并在线安装成功：
