Hi all,
I am planning to use votive, however the wix website tells me that
v2.0votive is not maintained and that users should go with votive
3.0
Again wix 3.0 is marked as unstable so which is the best combination to use.
I dont wan to risk anything by using unstable builds.
Thanks,

When I first started off with installer, I was thinking of using NSIS too,
but I guess if you want to save on time and effort, go with visual studio
setup project, set your pre-requisites i.e all ur other MSIs, u can
configure these MSI's to be installed from ur own server or a particular
location
on you are using happens to
be the assembly icon for one of your exes you can do it like I do.
