Other people have covered the technical aspects of the WiX toolset all over.
To summarize, I think it is safe to say that if the Windows Installer
supports it the WiX toolset supports it, the only question is how much

Glad to see we all agree. I thought the original question was to show where
WiX was different then InstallShield and that's what I thought I did. No
matter. Co

What about the future of WiX? With it being free, how do I know it will
be around for a while if I would choose to go this route with our
installations?
Did I read somewhere that it can be integrated into Visual

One of the big issues I've had with InstallShield and other products is
proper registration of files. Most of the time this area was OK, but
