I found sharp develop quite a handy ide for writing Wix 2.0, its free
http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/
Although when things got more complexed with a lot of different things being
built I used gnu make to handle multiple dependences for a project. I guess
with visual studio 2005 and above you could use msbuild to aid with
dependences and so forth, depends what your most comfortable with.

Subject: [WiX-users] using Visual Studio and WiX
ok, so I'm too dumb to know really what questions to ask, but here I am
groping in the dark looking for a candle ...
I've made lots of MSIs using the Wise Installation System, but need to
switch to WiX v.2 (not v.3). What benefit will I get from driving WiX from
within Visual Studio? I don't use Visual Studio for development myself,
though my pc has multiple versions installed (VS6, VS2005, and VS2008) to
support product builds. The .WXS install scripts i'll be supporting have an
accompanying .SLN file so they were presumably made in VS.
Is there a tutorial or similar for using Visual Studio for WiX? Or any
handy hints somewhere? (I'm currently Getting Started in the nice WiX tut
at http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/, using a text editor and doing the
compiling etc from the command prompt.)
thanks!
Alan
