带有 InstallShield 安装程序的桌面应用程序转换器 - W_DISCOVERED_EXE_NOT_FOUND
Desktop App Converter with InstallShield installer - W_DISCOVERED_EXE_NOT_FOUND
我正在尝试将我的桌面应用程序 Computator.NET（用 WinForms 编写）转换为 UWP，它使用 InstallShield 作为其安装程序，但 DAC 似乎找不到可执行文件。看起来它认为 exe 文件是一些临时安装程序文件。该过程的日志如下：
WARNING: DesktopAppConverter : warning 'W_PACKAGE_DEPENDENCY_ADDED': A

我正在使用相当简单的命令运行 Dekstop App Converter：
DesktopAppConverter.exe -Installer C:\Computator.NET\Computator.NET.Installer.v2.1.0.beta.exe -InstallerArguments "/S" -Destination C:\Computator.NET\Appx -PackageName "Computator.NET" -Publisher "CN=Pawel Troka" -Version 2.1.0.0 -MakeAppx
这个问题似乎是由 InstallShield 安装程序的工作方式引起的。
幸运的是，有一种简单的方法可以解决这个问题——我们需要将路径传递给可执行文件，就像它 -AppExecutable "path_to_your_exe_file_after_installation"
所以我的最终命令是这样的：
DesktopAppConverter.exe -Installer
C:\Computator.NET\Computator.NET.Installer.v2.1.0.beta.exe
-InstallerArguments "/S" -Destination C:\Computator.NET\Appx -PackageName "Computator.NET" -Publisher "CN=Pawel Troka" -Version 2.1.0.0 -MakeAppx -AppExecutable "C:\Program Files (x86)\Computator.NET\Computator.NET.exe" -Sign
请注意，我还添加了 -MakeAppx 和 -Sign 参数，这是因为我希望它准备好进行测试 - 只需要将证书 auto-generated.cer 安装到 Trusted Root Certification Authorities 转换后，我的 appx 已准备好在我的开发人员机器上安装和测试。
This tutorial was really helpful during the process and also this article 帮了我一点忙。
