Customizing Bootstrapper Templates

 

The bootstrapper templates can be customized by changing the following resources:

 

•($PackPointDir)\Wrappers\install.cmd
(where ($PackPointDir) is the PackPoint location)
 
This template is used for installation wrappers.

 

•($PackPointDir)\Wrappers\uninstall.cmd
(where ($PackPointDir)is the PackPoint location)
 
This template is used for uninstall wrappers.

 

In each template, custom pre- and post-commands can be adjusted. RayPack inserts the content of installation and uninstallation routine by replacing the following placeholders:

 

•($InstallationRoutine)

•($UninstallationRoutine)

 

with appropriate content. For example, a template can be defined like below:

 

@echo off

echo Installing ($ProductName)

($InstallationRoutine)

echo The installation is finished

 

Advanced users can specify different default templates per-profile. To do so, open a profile with any XML editor, locate the following XML elements
 
ProfileConfiguration/Wrapping/CmdTemplates
 

and define them like in the example below:

 
<Wrapping>

 <CreateWrapper>false</CreateWrapper>

 <OutputType>Compressed</OutputType>    

 <CmdTemplates>

         <CmdTemplates TargetName="($ProductName)_($ProductVersion)_install.cmd">

                 <Path>($PackPointDir)\Wrappers\install.cmd</Path>

         </CmdTemplates>

         <CmdTemplates TargetName="($ProductName)_($ProductVersion)_uninstall.cmd">

                 <Path>($PackPointDir)\Wrappers\uninstall.cmd</Path>

         </CmdTemplates>

         ...

         ...

         ...

 </CmdTemplates>

</Wrapping>

 

Special variables $(PackPointDir), $(ProductName) and $(ProductVersion) can be used to avoid hardcoding the PackPoint path, product name and product version respectively.
