You're probably talking about the document which describes the installation process, also known as the installation guide. It usually contains the description of the installation procedure, step by step. Start from the Welcome screen and proceed explaining what each screen is for. The best practice is making the installation self-explanatory, that is, you don't need a document to install software. But the complex installs might need this extra clarification.
Sometimes customers want to know what actions the installation program does towards the target system. This part should be documented in great detail, emphasizing the install doesn't touch the critical areas, or, if it does, why it is necessary. IMHO, a good sign is when you're never addressed with a question "How to install" after you gave a link to this document. Hope this helps. -- Yan -----Original Message----- From: MacDiarmid, James D [mailto:james.macdiar...@eds.com] Sent: Monday, July 20, 2009 9:35 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] Help on documenting a Wix installation I've been asked to write up a document on my wix installation. Not being a "document" person I'm not sure what to do on this. I was hoping someone might have an example of a product install document, they could share, where wix was used to develop it.
