WiX does make it easy to create an MSI file, but it doesn't completely hide some of the idiosyncracies of knowing Windows Installer and how it works. So there may be instances where things aren't going to be as easy as one would like. I still very much prefer WiX to Visual Studio deployment projects.

I'm curious though - this is a lot more complicated than the tutorial leads me to believe. Is there a simpler way, or is really this many steps? Can someone update the tutorial if there are more steps required to get this to work? --- I just verified with Orca that I have an AppSearch section.
