    使用 msi2xml .

    1. 此命令提取MSI文件:

      msi2xml-c OutputDir TestMSI.MSI

    2. 正常开放 输出目录 修改文件。

    3. 要重新生成MSI运行:

      xml2msi.exe-m TestMSI.xml

    您需要-m来忽略修改MSIs文件时失败的“MD5校验和测试”。

    您需要使用 MsiDB.exe (随Windows安装程序SDK提供)。从 带有-x选项的命令行 并指定cab文件的名称-它列在msi数据库的Media表中。

    或者,如果将VSI选项中的“Package file s as:”选项指定为“Compresses in Cabinet Files”,以便在生成cab文件时将其从msi中删除(它将在与msi相同的目录中创建),则可以跳过此部分。

    提取后,可以更改cab文件夹中的指定文件-其名称已被损坏,因此需要找出文件表中该文件的msi名称,然后将新文件重命名为该名称。

    一旦完成,你就可以用 使用-a选项的MsiDB实用程序 .

    在添加-a之前,需要使用 msidb-k remove the cab from the MSI .

    试试InstEd-安装程序编辑器 http://www.instedit.com/ . 它有30天的试用期,对我有效。您可以将文件解压缩到文件夹中,编辑、重新生成cab,然后保存MSI。除了文件的编辑之外,一切都是在GUI中完成的。

    不是一个很好的程序,但我花了30美元可以快速编辑MSI中的文件。

    我不为InstEd工作,也不以任何方式与InstEd相关,除了支付和使用申请表。

    替换MSI内文件的非常简单的示例代码。这不会将新文件/CAB流回到MSI中,但要求CAB与MSI在同一目录中才能成功安装。我敢肯定,只要再努力一点,你就可以修改代码,让计程车返回。

    Const MSI_SOURCE = "application.msi"
    Const FILE_REPLACE = "config.xml"
    
    Dim filesys, installer, database, view
    Dim objFile, size, result, objCab
    
    Set filesys=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set installer = CreateObject("WindowsInstaller.Installer")
    Set database = installer.OpenDatabase (MSI_SOURCE, 1)
    
    Set objFile = filesys.GetFile(FILE_REPLACE)
    size = objFile.Size
    
    Set objCab = CreateObject("MakeCab.MakeCab.1")
    objCab.CreateCab "config.cab", False, False, False
    objCab.AddFile FILE_REPLACE, filesys.GetFileName(FILE_REPLACE)
    objCab.CloseCab
    
    Set view = database.OpenView ("SELECT LastSequence FROM Media WHERE DiskId = 1")
    view.Execute
    
    Set result = view.Fetch
    seq = result.StringData(1) + 1 ' Sequence for new configuration file
    
    Set view = database.OpenView ("INSERT INTO Media (DiskId, LastSequence, Cabinet) VALUES ('2', '" & seq & "', 'config.cab')")
    view.Execute
    
    Set view = database.OpenView ("UPDATE File SET FileSize = " & size & ", Sequence = " & seq & " WHERE File = '" & LCase(FILE_REPLACE) & "'")
    view.Execute

    此代码仅在1个文件上测试过,其中的名称与要替换的文件完全相同。。

    但它应该实现Christopher Painters answer in C#,带有DTF(来自WIX)

    最简单的方法是重新打包MSI:

    1. 在Wise for Windows安装程序中打开MSI文件。选择要提取文件的选项。
    2. 找到磁盘上的文件并将其替换。
    3. 生成MSI。

    这些步骤也适用于InstallShield。
