<p>The following variables are specific to the installers built on
Windows using WiX.</p>
<dl class="variable">
<dt id="variable:CPACK_WIX_UPGRADE_GUID">
<code class="descname">CPACK_WIX_UPGRADE_GUID</code><a class="headerlink" href="#variable:CPACK_WIX_UPGRADE_GUID" title="Permalink to this definition"></a></dt>
<dd><p>Upgrade GUID (<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Product/&#64;UpgradeCode</span></code>)</p>
<p>Will be automatically generated unless explicitly provided.</p>
<p>It should be explicitly set to a constant generated globally unique
identifier (GUID) to allow your installers to replace existing
installations that use the same GUID.</p>
<p>You may for example explicitly set this variable in your
CMakeLists.txt to the value that has been generated per default. You
should not use GUIDs that you did not generate yourself or which may
belong to other projects.</p>
<p>A GUID shall have the following fixed length syntax:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">XXXXXXXX</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">XXXX</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">XXXX</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">XXXX</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">XXXXXXXXXXXX</span>

<dd><p>Product GUID (<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Product/&#64;Id</span></code>)</p>
<p>Will be automatically generated unless explicitly provided.</p>
<p>If explicitly provided this will set the Product Id of your installer.</p>
<p>The installer will abort if it detects a pre-existing installation that
uses the same GUID.</p>
<p>The GUID shall use the syntax described for CPACK_WIX_UPGRADE_GUID.</p>

<p>If CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_LICENSE has an .rtf extension it is used as-is.</p>
<p>If CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_LICENSE has an .txt extension it is implicitly
converted to RTF by the WiX Generator.
The expected encoding of the .txt file is UTF-8.</p>
<p>With CPACK_WIX_LICENSE_RTF you can override the license file used by the
WiX Generator in case CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_LICENSE is in an unsupported
format or the .txt -&gt; .rtf conversion does not work as expected.</p>

<dd><p>Language(s) of the installer</p>
<p>Languages are compiled into the WixUI extension library. To use them,
simply provide the name of the culture. If you specify more than one
culture identifier in a comma or semicolon delimited list, the first one
that is found will be used. You can find a list of supported languages at:

<p>If this variable is set, the specified template will be used to generate
the WiX wxs file. This should be used if further customization of the
output is required.</p>
<p>If this variable is not set, the default MSI template included with CMake
will be used.</p>

<code class="descname">CPACK_WIX_PATCH_FILE</code><a class="headerlink" href="#variable:CPACK_WIX_PATCH_FILE" title="Permalink to this definition"></a></dt>
<dd><p>Optional list of XML files with fragments to be inserted into
generated WiX sources</p>
<p>This optional variable can be used to specify an XML file that the
WiX generator will use to inject fragments into its generated
source files.</p>
<p>Patch files understood by the CPack WiX generator
roughly follow this RELAX NG compact schema:</p>
<div class="highlight-none"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>start = CPackWiXPatch
CPackWiXPatch = element CPackWiXPatch { CPackWiXFragment* }
CPackWiXFragment = element CPackWiXFragment
{
attribute Id { string },
fragmentContent*
}
fragmentContent = element * - CPackWiXFragment
{
(attribute * { text } | text | fragmentContent)*
}
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Currently fragments can be injected into most
Component, File, Directory and Feature elements.</p>
<p>The following additional special Ids can be used:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">#PRODUCT</span></code> for the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">&lt;Product&gt;</span></code> element.</li>
<li><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">#PRODUCTFEATURE</span></code> for the root <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">&lt;Feature&gt;</span></code> element.</li>
</ul>
<p>The following example illustrates how this works.</p>
<p>Given that the WiX generator creates the following XML element:</p>
<div class="highlight-xml"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nt">&lt;Component</span> <span class="na">Id=</span><span class="s">&quot;CM_CP_applications.bin.my_libapp.exe&quot;</span> <span class="na">Guid=</span><span class="s">&quot;*&quot;</span><span class="nt">/&gt;</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The following XML patch file may be used to inject an Environment element
into it:</p>
<div class="highlight-xml"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nt">&lt;CPackWiXPatch&gt;</span>
<span class="nt">&lt;CPackWiXFragment</span> <span class="na">Id=</span><span class="s">&quot;CM_CP_applications.bin.my_libapp.exe&quot;</span><span class="nt">&gt;</span>
<span class="nt">&lt;Environment</span> <span class="na">Id=</span><span class="s">&quot;MyEnvironment&quot;</span> <span class="na">Action=</span><span class="s">&quot;set&quot;</span>
<span class="na">Name=</span><span class="s">&quot;MyVariableName&quot;</span> <span class="na">Value=</span><span class="s">&quot;MyVariableValue&quot;</span><span class="nt">/&gt;</span>
<span class="nt">&lt;/CPackWiXFragment&gt;</span>
<span class="nt">&lt;/CPackWiXPatch&gt;</span>
