= Building a Windows installer for the BOINC client =

On the build machine:

 * [CompileClient Build the client] using VS2010 (at some point we'll switch to VS 2015).
    Build solution (Release/debug, 32/64 bit)

  Make sure you have current [AdminDepLibs dependent libraries].

Set up boinc_codesign directory (peer of boinc/):
copy boinc.pfx and android_keystore
(get these files from davea or Rom)

Copy customdict.txt and customenv.cmd to
boinc_depends_xxx/developr/David (or whatever your username is).
Edit customdict.txt to point to where boinc_codesign dir is,
e.g. BUILDCODESIGN=C:\users\David\documents\boinc_git\boinc_codesign

(don't use spaces in path).


Run Visual Studio shell:
in start menu, Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 / Visual Studio Tools/ Visual Studio Command Prompt

 * on shell command line:
{{{
cd "c:/users/David/documents/boinc git/boinc/win_build/"
buildenv.cmd type release platform x64
[ screen turns blue to indicate release mode ]
codesign
updatesymstore

buildenv.cmd type release platform x86
codesign
updatesymstore

deploysymstore (enter boincadm password)(stores are on isaac in boinc/doc/symstore)
}}}

(updatesymstore and deploysymstore are scripts in depends directory)

Make sure you the latest VirtualBox and Extension Pack.

Run the Installshield VM (BOINC WIndows Installer.vbox)

In the VM:
  * Start / My computer / Z: (takes you to c: drive of host)
  * go to c:/users/David/documents/boinc_git/boinc/win_build/installerv2
  * open BOINC_x64 (for 64 bit) or BOINC.ism
  * in Installation Designer tab:
   * click on General Information
   * Product version: set
   * Product code: get new one (at right)
   * don't change Upgrade Code!
  * select  Media / Releases in navbar:
   * select Releases/Webx64 in dir tree
   * change Setup File Name
   * File / Save
   * Build / batch build
   * check box next to Webx64, click Build
   * Same for BOINC_vbox.ism, etc.
  * installers end up in BOINC/WEBx86/Web/DiskImages/DISK1

Rom: need to do anything for bundled Vbox versions? what determines the Vbox version?

Back on build machine:

 * put "customdict.txt" in boinc_depends_win_vs2010/developr/davea (??)

== Updating VirtualBox in InstallShield ==

You'll need to extract the various components from the VirtualBox installer via:
{{{
VirtualBox-4.3.20-96996-Win.exe --extract --path c:\temp\virtualbox43
}}}

Or whatever Vbox version you want.

Update the PRQ files using InstallShield's Prerequisite Editor.

Copy the extracted files and updated PRQ files to:
C:\Program Files\InstallShield\2011\SetupPrerequisites
