NuGet Extension for WiX Projects

Simple WiX extension to resolve paths to installed NuGet packages.

Install

Just install the Matthid.WiX.NuGetExtensions package into your WiX project via NuGet.

Usage

You can use:

  • nuget.GetVersion(packName): Searches packages.config and *.*proj files for package entries to detect the package version. Returns the first result.
  • nuget.GetPath(packName): First detects the version (like GetVersion) then returns either the path to the nuget package cache (preferred) or a local packages directory.
  • nuget.GetPath(packagesDir, packName): First detects the version (like GetVersion) then returns either the path to the nuget package cache (preferred) or the given local packages directory (use this if you use a non-standard package directory location).
<Property Id="FUNCTIONTEST" Value="$(nuget.GetPath(MyPackageName))/tools/Installer.msi" />
<Property Id="FUNCTIONTEST" Value="$(nuget.GetPath(MyPackageName))/tools/Installer_$(nuget.GetVersion(MyPackageName)).msi" />
