[wix-users] SWID Tags

[Wesley Manning]

Sorry, you're right.  I thought the role attribute was depreciated but it's the Type attribute.  I'm just starting to understand the spec so thanks of the info.

Here's the two areas in code to give you a good idea what it's doing:
https://github.com/wixtoolset/wix3/blob/d6fd455399ca77a9fe5d95cbd7ebf761534bcb45/src/ext/TagExtension/wixext/Xsd/tag.xsd
https://github.com/wixtoolset/wix3/blob/d6fd455399ca77a9fe5d95cbd7ebf761534bcb45/src/ext/TagExtension/wixext/TagBinder.cs (line267, function: CreateTagFile)

Thanks for the reply.  The link that I posted is the NIST 8060 Second Draft July 2015 for the public review period (from July 22, 2015 to August 7, 2015) of the US NIST implementation of the ISO-770-2-2015 standard.  Each country's standards organization (NIST for the US) needs to adopt the ISO standard, and in doing so give guidance on how to implement the standard with examples.  A blog on the new ISO-770-2-2015 recommended looking at NISTIR 8060 Public Draft which is the US implementation of ISO-20770-2-2015.   I will do some more experimenting with the new wix 3.10 build, but it seems that the standard requires that the Entity/@role attribute be specified as one example of my question.  The example that I posted are the basic required elements for a 'Primary' tag.  I did not figure out how to do a 'Corpus' tag yet, but I have some testing that I need to do.

It looks like that is for the 2009 version of the standard.  There's a newer 2015 standard.

Regardless if you look into the code (for example the code Rob checked in for 2015) you'll see that wix sets a lot automatically like the software version, software name (you can override with the name attribute), software unique ID, manufacturer name (which it gets from burn or mis), ...

With Wix 3.10.0.2026 I am investigating adding swid:tag back into my Bundle.   I found a draft of the spec at:
http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/PubsDrafts.html#NIST-IR-8060

(and the page that took me to that link warned that he link might be broke when a new draft is posted by NIST.)

I find the draft rather confusing with lots of MUSTs, which I don't see a way to set using the WixTagExtension.  (To be fair I have not compiled this yet or installed it so, but I don't know how wix would know some of this stuff without entering it.

So for the following example form the spec, I guess I would use the following wix authoring.  Does this seem correct?

Does the 'globally unique tag identifier' get generated?
Seems like Entity/@role is required  ?

My bundle install 32 bit apps, 64 bit apps, and app data files.  It seems like I should only set the 32 bit install location.  Is that the intent?

They also talk about the importance of signing the tags, particularly a "Corpus" tag, but I get the sense that WixTagExtension only supports a "Primary" or "Patch" tag and not "Corpus" or "Supplemental".

<swid:Tag Regid="acme.com" InstallPath="[InstallFolder]"/>

773 xmlns="http://standards.iso.org/iso/19770/-2/2015/schema.xsd"
774 name="ACME Roadrunner Management Suite Coyote Edition"

776 tagVersion="0"
777 version="4.1.5">
778 <Entity
779 name="The ACME Corporation"
780 regid="acme.com"
781 role="tagCreator softwareCreator"/>
782 ...
783 </SoftwareIdentity>
784

Thanks for all of the work.  The business does not require that I use SWID tags yet, but I would like to do it properly so just looking for advice.
Thanks
Phill
