Description

WiX v3 will be EOLed on Feb 6 2025. It's time to switch to WiX v4 or newer.

https://www.firegiant.com/blog/2024/2/6/wix-security-releases-available/

WiX v3 is not the future

Now that WiX v4 has been out for almost a year and WiX v5 is nearing release, it's time to put WiX v3 out to pasture. WiX v3 is approaching its fifteenth birthday. (WiX v3.0.5419.0 was released 19-June-2009!) In software terms, that's ancient -- even as we've done eight releases to keep it running smoothly (he says modestly).

So we're giving WiX v3 a deadline (literally). Today's release of WiX v3.14.xxxxx starts the one-year clock: After 6-Feb-2025, there will be no future security fixes released in the WiX v3 line.

Normalize quite in WiX rules
dc6df87 
This is a preparation to switch to WiX v4 (#894).

While there is an automated converter from WiX v3 rules to WiX v4 rules,
it normalizes all the single quotes in XML attributes to double quotes.

To minimize the diffs in the above process, this commit applies the same
normalization in prior.

This is a mechanical replacement. There must be no difference in the
final installer files.

Simplify installer{,_oss}_64bit.wxs
6df9da5 
This is a preparation to switch to WiX v4 (#894).

Historically Mozc's WiX rules have had the following actions in
 <InstallExecuteSequence>

 * <SelfRegModules />
 * <SelfUnfegModules />,

which are used for so-called SelfRegistration [1].

However we have explicitly stopped supporting SelfRegistration [2]
because 1) we believe SelfRegistration is not the best approach for
end user and production and 2) Windows Installer, which Mozc has already
relied on, is a supserset of SelfRegistration anyway.

With above let's simplify our WiX rules to make it clear that Mozc no
longer relies on SelfRegistration in any possible way. Simplifying WiX
rules also helps our migration from WiX v3 rules to WiX v4 rules.

There must be no user observable behavior change in Mozc64.msi.
I have actually confirmed it by manually checking InstallExecuteSequence
table in Mozc64.msi by using Orca [3].
