SQL CE 4.0 as a InstallShield Prerequisite

2019-01-26 09:17发布

问题:

I'm making my own prq file to perform the SQL CE 4.0 installation with my WPF application installation. The installer keeps failing, and I'm not sure why. It looks like it attempts to run the CE exe, but then a Windows Installer help window comes up with all of these command line help options. I click OK, and then it says the installation of CE has failed. I don't how to determine what is going wrong.

Here's my prq file contents:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SetupPrereq>
<conditions>
    <condition Type="32" Comparison="2" Path="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition\v4.0\ENU" FileName="DesktopRuntimeVersion" ReturnValue="4.0.8482.1"></condition>
</conditions>
<files>
    <file LocalFile="&lt;ISProductFolder&gt;\SetupPrerequisites\SSCERuntime_x86-ENU.exe" URL="http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=17876" FileSize="0,0"></file>
</files>
<execute file="SSCERuntime_x86-ENU.exe" cmdline="/passive /norestart" cmdlinesilent="/passive /norestart"></execute>
<properties Id="{F7BF54C1-CA2C-4410-98DB-480769CE6547}" Description="This prerequisite installs the Microsoft SQL Server Compact 4.0."></properties>
</SetupPrereq>

Any help would be much appreciated.

I was able to get it to work from what it seems like so

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SetupPrereq>
<conditions>
    <condition Type="32" Comparison="2" Path="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition\v4.0\ENU" FileName="DesktopRuntimeVersion" ReturnValue="4.0.8482.1"></condition>
</conditions>
<files>
    <file LocalFile=".\SSCERuntime_x86-ENU.exe" URL="http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/5/D/05DCCDB5-57E0-4314-A016-874F228A8FAD/SSCERuntime_x86-ENU.exe" FileSize="0,0"></file>
</files>
<execute file="SSCERuntime_x86-ENU.exe" cmdline="/i /passive" cmdlinesilent="/i /passive"></execute>
<properties Id="{05DCCDB5-57E0-4314-A016-874F228A8FAD}" Description="This prerequisite installs the Microsoft SQL Server Compact 4.0 x86."></properties>
</SetupPrereq>

The x64 script

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SetupPrereq>

    <condition Type="32" Comparison="2" Path="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition\v4.0\ENU" FileName="DesktopRuntimeVersion" ReturnValue="4.0.8482.1"></condition>

</SetupPrereq>

In response to the rishiJasapara's comment, I made scripts based on previous answer.

The idea is the same, to create two scripts, one for x86 and another for x64 platform. You have to select both prerequisities in your InstallShield project, but with scripts listed below in installation page on the target machine you'll see the only one that is corresponding to the machine's processor architecture.

Microsoft SQL CE 4.0 x86.prq:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    <behavior Failure="4" Reboot="2"></behavior>
</SetupPrereq>

Microsoft SQL CE 4.0 x64.prq:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    </conditions>
    <operatingsystemconditions>
        <operatingsystemcondition CSDVersion="" Bits="2"></operatingsystemcondition>
    </operatingsystemconditions>
    <files>
        <file LocalFile=".\SSCERuntime_x64-ENU.exe" URL="http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/5/D/05DCCDB5-57E0-4314-A016-874F228A8FAD/SSCERuntime_x64-ENU.exe" CheckSum="A417082ECAEDD95AFB41F73DC140C350" FileSize="0,2621240"></file>

    <behavior Failure="4" Reboot="2"></behavior>
</SetupPrereq>

As you can see, the major difference is additional "operatingsystemconditions" on wich correct SQL CE installation package is determined.

I tested it on Windows 7 32- and 64- bit systems and it actually works fine.
