= 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 on host in boinc/win_build/installerv2/BOINCx64/WEBx64/Web/DiskImages/DISK1/boincxxx.exe

(that's the file you copy to  boinc/doc/dl on isaac)

== Updating !VirtualBox in !InstallShield ==

The version of vbox in the installer is the one in the installer VM.
To update this:

 * On the host, download the version you want from the vbox site (this includes 32 and 64 bit).

 * Extract the various components from the VirtualBox installer via:
{{{
VirtualBox-4.3.20-96996-Win.exe --extract --path c:\temp\virtualbox43
}}}

(change 4.3.20-96996 and 43 based on the version you downloaded).
This produces:

VirtualBox-xxx-amd64.msi

VirtualBox-xxx.x86.msi

Common.cab


In the VM:

Go to c:/program files/InstallShield/2011/SetUpPrerequisites

Copy the above 3 files into this dir; delete older versions of them first.

Rename Oracle VM VirtualBox xxx (x64).prq to new version; same for x86

Run Installshield: Start/All Programs/Installshield/Installshield 2011

Tools/Prerequisite Editor
