[CMake] CPack : Embedding other installer (*.msi, *.exe)

[ycollette.nospam at free.fr]

Hello,

With your cmake: embed the installers in your project, install them in a tmp dir

....

  install(PROGRAMS ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/redistributable/win64/vcredist_2005_sp1_x64.exe
          DESTINATION tmp)

....

Now, add the following specific NSIS commands:


      list(APPEND CPACK_NSIS_EXTRA_INSTALL_COMMANDS " 
               ExecWait '$INSTDIR\\\\tmp\\\\vcredist_2005_sp1_x64.exe'
               ")

For a msi installer:

    list(APPEND CPACK_NSIS_EXTRA_INSTALL_COMMANDS " 
             ExecWait 'msiexec /i $INSTDIR\\\\tmp\\\\mpich2-1.2.1p1-win.msi'
             ")


I hope this helps,

YC

Objet: [CMake] CPack : Embedding other installer (*.msi, *.exe)

Hi,

     I have a packaging/installation scenario where my files are 
dependent on another MSI/EXE to be executed/install

     I tried googling "NSIS cpack embed installer" but didn't find the 
answer.

     Is somewhere I can read up on this way of packaging up and 
installer on Windows ?

     I am currently using a related macro (provided by CMake) to install 
the Visual Studio redistributable so I guess it is possible.

Regards
