WiX based Windows installer for GPII

This code is pulled and executed from GPII/gpii-app's Installer.ps1 provisioning script and can be called manually, but the latter is only for people that are familiar to this code.

• WiX Toolset v3.11.2
• MSBuild Extension Pack v4

Make sure MSBuild and the WiX folder are in the path.

The staging folder is where the content is going to be placed before building the installer.

After running setup.msbuild, an MSI file can be found in the output folder.

The installer is a standard MSI file and as such it can be also executed using msiexec.exe and supports all the command-line options available to msiexec.exe.

To perform an unattended installation (requires administrative rights):

msiexec /qn /i GPII.msi

To perform an unattended installation and keep a verbose log to log.txt:

msiexec /qn /lv log.txt /i GPII.msi

To silently uninstall:

msiexec /qn /x GPII.msi

You can pass a number of property key/values to the installer to customize its behavior.
For example, to perform an unattended installation to C:\GPII:

msiexec /qn /i GPII.msi INSTALLFOLDER=C:\GPII

To perform an unattended installation to C:\GPII that creates no desktop shortcuts:

msiexec /qn /i GPII.msi INSTALLFOLDER=C:\GPII ADDLOCAL=GPIIFeature,VCRedist DESKTOP_SHORTCUTS=0
