Introduction

The Windows Installer XML (WiX) is a toolset that builds Windows installation packages from XML source code. The toolset supports a command line environment that developers may integrate into their build processes to build MSI and MSM setup packages.

Advantages

The WiX toolset provides the following advantages over other popular Windows Installer developer tools:
  • WiX offers unrestricted access to Windows Installer functionality.
  • It leverages XML-based source files, that can easily be edited in any text editor and are easily version controlled.
  • The command-line interface allows WiX to be integrated into any automated application build process or continuous integration environment.
  • There is no need to get expensive licenses for special tools. The WiX toolset is free.
