WinMerge

WinMerge

This is a silent installer for WinMerge, an Open Source visual text file differencing and merging tool. See http://winmerge.org/.

WPKG Packages

32-bit or 64-bit

<package 
    id='WinMerge' 
    name='WinMerge' 
    revision='21040' 
    priority='50' 
    reboot='false' >
  <check type='uninstall' condition='exists' path='WinMerge 2.10.4.0' />
  <install cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\WinMerge\unattended.cmd"' />
  <remove cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\WinMerge\unattended-uninstall.cmd"' />
  <upgrade cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\WinMerge\unattended.cmd"' />
</package>

This uses a command-script to install WinMerge. Here is the code of the two scripts:

unattended.cmd

@echo off

echo Installing WinMerge

set BINARY=WinMerge-2.10.4-Setup.exe
set INSTALL_LOC=%~dp0

start /wait "WinMerge" "%INSTALL_LOC%%BINARY%" /VERYSILENT /SP- /NORESTART

unattended-uninstall.cmd

@echo off

echo Removing WinMerge

set PROG_FILES=%ProgramFiles%
if not "%ProgramFiles(x86)%" == "" set PROG_FILES=%ProgramFiles(x86)%

start /wait "WinMerge" "%PROG_FILES%\WinMerge\unins000.exe" /VERYSILENT /SP- /NORESTART

This uses the unattended-uninstall.cmd script to support the %ProgramFiles(x86)% location on Windows x64 editions.

Just 32-bit

If you do not need to support x64 editions you might simply include the command lines within the XML file:

<package 
    id='WinMerge' 
    name='WinMerge' 
    revision='21040' 
    priority='50' 
    reboot='false' >
  <check type='uninstall' condition='exists' path='WinMerge 2.10.4.0' />
  <install cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\WinMerge\WinMerge-2.10.4-Setup.exe" /VERYSILENT /SP- /NORESTART' />
  <remove cmd='"%ProgramFiles%\WinMerge\unins000.exe" /VERYSILENT /SP- /NORESTART' />
  <upgrade cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\WinMerge\WinMerge-2.10.4-Setup.exe" /VERYSILENT /SP- /NORESTART"' />
</package>

Just 64-bit

Or with X64 support, and no cmd files:

<package
	id="winmerge"
	name="WinMerge"
	revision="2"
	reboot="false"
	priority="1">
	<variable name="version" value="2.12.4" />
	<variable name="packagedir" value="%SOFTWARE%\Standard\WinMerge" />
	<check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="WinMerge %version%" />

	<install cmd='%packagedir%\WinMerge-%version%-Setup.exe /VERYSILENT /SP- /NORESTART' />
	<upgrade cmd='%packagedir%\WinMerge-%version%-Setup.exe /VERYSILENT /SP- /NORESTART' />
	
	<remove  cmd='"%ProgramFiles%\WinMerge\unins000.exe" /VERYSILENT /SP- /NORESTART' architecture="x86" />
	<remove  cmd='"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\WinMerge\unins000.exe" /VERYSILENT /SP- /NORESTART' architecture="x64" />
</package>
