This breaks rendering of images for Windows 7 and Server 2008R2,
but it's required for accessibility purposes so that the High
Contrast Black theme renders text correctly for accessibility.
(Unfortunately, BMP does not support transparency.)
Fixes#8919
Preserve user shortcuts pinned to Taskbar during MSI upgrade by not removing shortcuts in this case (assuming the user has not changed the installation directory), see https://stackoverflow.com/a/33402698/1810304
This also requires the Guid to not always be re-generated, which PR #7701 originally added to ensure shortcuts get removed when RTM and preview are installed, the underlying problem was rather that RTM and preview shared the same GUIDs, therefore the GUIDs are hard-coded again but different for RTM and preview, therefore the shortcuts will still always get removed on uninstall. But this also means those GUIDs should change when the default installation directory changes, i.e. in PowerShell 7. Should we write the code to already take this into account that it does not get forgotten?
Tested by first reproducing the issue by building installers locally (and bumping the patch version. Then the fix was applied to verify the solution, it. For this to take effect the version from which an MSI is being upgraded must have this fix already, i.e. if this fix got shipped in `6.2.1`, then on upgrading to it, the issue would still occur but when upgrading `6.2.1` to `6.2.2` the shortcut would start being preserved. I am wondering if we could maybe improve this to show effect earlier by trying to extract the used (auto-generated) GUIDs in the `6.2.0` and `6.2.0-rc` packages out and use them...
Please not that we probably need to take this out for `7.0` because the base installation directory will change. This also assumes that the user has not specified a different installation directory on upgrade but this is a bit of an edge case where I think other things might break as well.
Since we don't explicitly set the window title, it just shows the path to `pwsh.exe`. Fix is to use the `-Command` parameter to set the window title.
Fix#8163
The variable was set to empty (meaning to delete the variable) in the non-preview case and the build fails.
The fix avoids setting the variable to empty
Fixes underlying problem of #3341. Related: #2881
When multiple versions (e.g. RTM and preview) of PowerShell are installed via the MSI and one is being uninstalled, then the start menu shortcut does not get removed due to the shortcut component being not unique per version. This also applies to an upgrade scenario. Therefore use an auto-generated Guid (`*`)
Fixes#6590 by adding registry keys to support the existing explorer context menu also when being inside a library folder. It follows the existing pattern that was already applied to special cases such as drives, Desktop, etc.
Manually Tested on Win 10 1709
Thanks to @mklement0 for triaging the issue and already researching the required registry key (he should also be included in the release notes)
- Implementation of PowerShell/PowerShell-RFC#115 (If anything changes in the RFC, we will treat it as a bug, and fix it later)
- Update registry and directory paths to use 6 for the version for stable and 6-preview for a preview release
- Add checkbox to set path
- default checkbox to off for preview builds and on for stable builds
MSI: remove the version from the product name
During patching the original MSI information is displayed.
This makes installing a patch for an MSI with a specific version very confusing.
MSI: Make sure that file components are patchable
- avoid changing names and guids of components between builds as this prevents patch generation
- This required submitting the file generated by heat
- add code to make sure the generated file is not out of date
- add `wixpdb` output when creating `MSI` package
- capture `wixpdb` in official build
- clean up anything left behind from previous MSI builds before starting MSI build to prevent using dirty files.
- make sure MSI creation fails if there is an error
- ignore `.wixpdb` files in git
- Add functionality to `Start-NativeExecution` to
- only display output if there is an error
- log caller information
- WXS validation error fixes
- Remove unused `ExitDialog` to fix ICE82
- Add KeyPath to `SetPath` to fix ICE18
- Use `HKMU` which translates to `HKLM` to runtime to fix various validation errors about creating the shortcut
- Suppress Validation errors
- suppress ICE61, which is about same version upgrades being allowed
- suppress ICE57, caused by the shortcut not being installed per user
Add registry value for easy detection. For example, the presence of a single key of 6.0.* x64. This is much faster than MSI detection.
Note there are currently two GUIDs, one for 6.0.* x64 and one for 6.0.* x86.
fixes#6090
Changes the Windows start menu folder name from ProductSemanticVersionWithName to ProductSemanticVersionWithNameAndOptionalArchitecture - now the start menu is `PowerShell` for all versions.
This is the continuation of PR 5499 that had to be abandoned due to a fatal merge conflict and I did not want to risk accidentally reverting recent fixes.
Remove unnecessary/unused default for productGuid because it always gets a new Guid when being called from Start-PSPackage
Add defaults for required files but also add extra path validation attribute
Rename ProductGuid to ProductCode
Make explorer context menu registry entries platform specific to allow them to work also when both x86 and x64 are installed. The main menu has a " (x86)" appended to the main menu as well.
Fix bug #5597: x86/x64 installer are uninstalling each other when installing either of them:
-Make x86 installer to be installed as an x86 component (-arch argument to candle.exe, which sets the `sys.BUILDARCH` variable)
-Make the UpgradeCode unique per platform
-Replace `var.ProductTargetArchitecture` variable with sys.BUILDARCH use to have only 1 variable for the architecture
-Additionally, the architecture was appended to the package name to be able to distinguish the installations.
Move definition of Launch PowerShell checkbox to the top to allow toggling it using the spacebar (the Enter key already defaults to the Finish button).
Reuse product name variable.
A new dialogue is added in the Windows installer to offer the option of adding explorer.exe context menus to open PowerShell in the current location as a normal shell or as administrator. The context menu entries are achiveven via registry entries and is available when right-clicking on:
- the background of explorer
- a folder in explorer
- a drive in explorer
- on the Desktop
- Rename powershell.exe to pwsh.exe
- Fixe appveyor.psm1
- Update MSI to include 'pwsh' in path and app paths
- Revert change for hyper-v powershell direct
- Update names in packaging.psm1.
- Fix check for SxS

* address PR feedback
* A simple and minimal fix of 4665 to check for the Visual Studio C++ 2015 redistributables. Note that this is specific to 2015 (vcruntime140.dll refers to the Visual Studio version 14.0, which maps to Visual Studio 2015).
A previous check registry check of 'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DevDiv\VC\Servicing\14.0\RuntimeMinimum' failed because when the redistributables are installed via Windows update (which does not use MSI), then the registry entry did not get populated.
The 'Pending' attribute was removed from existing tests since the download links are now present again and the tests were improved using Pester TestCases.
* Fixed typo spotted in code review of PR 4745
* Remove DirectorySearch Id duplication by defining it once and referencing according to this special trick in the official WiX documentation here: http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/howtos/files_and_registry/directorysearchref.html
Renamed property values as suggested.
* Remove replacements of HTTPS with HTTP, i.e. test against exact link. Use -UseBasicParsing switch with the hope of not having failures in the CI environment.
Added comment why there is no assertion about the StatusCode.
* Replace download links with link to pre-requisites page as suggested in PR 4745 because this page is easier to update
* Compilation error CNDL0012 fix: WiX does not allow lowercase characters for file search property Ids because due to them being used for a search property means that they must be public, hence lowercase is not allowed.
* #4458 MSI installer checks that the Windows C Runtime and VS Studio 2015 C++ redistributables are present and returns error message if not.
Includes tests to check that the Wix file contains the download URLs and those URLs are not dead.
Added a checkbox (unchecked by default) to the last dialogue of the Windows installer to provide the option of opening PowerShell because that's what most people want to do if they installed PowerShell.
