Packup

Packup is a Rake helper for building Windows installers. It helps you write simple MSI packages.

Synopsis

Write a Rakefile:

require 'packup'

Packup.stuff 'Magic' do
  author 'Wizard'
  version '1.0.0'

  file 'src/README'   => '/docs/readme.txt'
  file 'src/wand.exe' => '/bin/wand.exe'
end

Build a MSI and install it:

% rake msi
% msiexec /i wix\Magic.msi

Dependencies

Packup requires the WiX Toolset be installed. If the WIX_HOME environment variable is set, Packup will look for binaries in a "bin" folder there. If the toolset can't be found, it will assume the binaries are on your PATH.

License

Packup is available under an MIT-style license. See the {file:LICENSE.md} document for more information.
