[wix-users] Deployment Tools Foundation Documentation: Working with Install Packages

[Costanzo Ferraro]

Hi Joseph,

here is the complete code:

private void UpdateInstaller(string SetupFile, string SourcePath)
         {
             string fName;

             InstallPackage db = null;


             try
             {
                 string[] filesToUpdate = Directory.GetFiles(SourcePath);

                 if (filesToUpdate.Length > 0)
                 {
                     db = new InstallPackage(SetupFile, 
DatabaseOpenMode.Transact);

                     db.WorkingDirectory = 
Path.Combine(Path.GetTempPath(), "PkgTmp");
Directory.CreateDirectory(db.WorkingDirectory);

                     InstallPathMap files = db.Files;


                     foreach (string szKey  in files.Keys)
                     {
                         InstallPath path = files[szKey];
                         string binName = path.SourceName;

                         int i = binName.IndexOf('|');
                         string name = binName.Substring(i + 1);

                         bool fnd = filesToUpdate.Any(s => 
s.EndsWith(name));

                         if (fnd)
                         {
                             fName = filesToUpdate.First(s => 
s.EndsWith(name));
                             string DestFile = 
Path.Combine(db.WorkingDirectory, name);

                             File.Copy(fName, DestFile, true);

                             files[szKey].SourceName = name;
}
                     }

                     db.UpdateFiles();
                     db.Commit();

                     Directory.Delete(db.WorkingDirectory, true);
                 }
             }
             finally
             {
                 if (db != null)
                     db.Close();
             }
         }

Anyway, db.UpdateFiles() fails. What is the reason?
