GitHub workflow to create installer and add files

Thu Apr 28, 2022 11:18 am

Hi all.

I'm trying to incorporate an Advanced Installer action into my GitHub workflow and struggling to determine the best route.

I have a bunch of files in my repo. Some in the root, and some in folders. I effectively need an MSI to deploy that folder/file structure to a device. There aren't any executables so to speak, the MSI is doing a very basic file drop and registering with Add/Remove programs etc.

I'd like to ideally build the entire .aip file from the action if that's possible, instead of creating a dummy .aip and uploading. Is that something that's possible? Just to mention, the only other settings I apply when I manually craft the .aip using the GUI, is that it is a per-user install.

Anyone have any tips?
