A simple Crypto Currency Ticker application for Windows. Target market is Poloniex.
This topic is used as a simple example of a "useful" application for showcasing MSI installer building using the Windows Installer XML (WIX).
Jednostavna Windows aplikacija s pregledom stanja burze kriptovaluta. Ciljana burza je Poloniex.
Ova tema je odabrana kao jednostavan primjer "korisne" aplikacije za koju se pokazuju principi rada s Windows Installer XML (WIX).
These are the requirements I've satisfied to make this project build. You might be able to achieve the same with newer versions, if you manage, please create a pull request with the setup you've used.
- Visual Studio 2015 Community - MS does a good job at burying older versions.
- WIX toolset 3.10.3
- Windows 10 SDK - needed for SignTool.exe when building in release.
The app is already being signed in the Release mode builds. For this purpose I've used the publisher name "GridWaves" and a self-signed certificate generated on my machine.
In a real production use, you would have to buy a real certificate which ensures you as a company or organization can be trusted by the user.
Run "Digital Certificate for VBA Projects" from the Microsoft Office Tools. You should enter the publisher name, this should create a self signed certificate with the name "Publisher Name" (i.e. whatever you enter).
You can examine the certificate in [Start] > "Manage user certificates".
This is an example of signing a file from git-bash on Windows:
signtool sign
-n "Publisher Name" \
-t http://timestamp.comodoca.com/authenticode \
