I'm almost ready to make the Wix leap from Windows Installer. But before I do, I have a some questions that I can't find the answer to in the FAQ or other info repositories:
1. It looks like Wix will integrate with VSS without any problems. Are there any caveats? 2. I have a number of legacy VB6 applications that I need to integrate into the installer. I do this with a VS2008 Windows Installer project and VSS by sharing application exe and other dependencies into a common Files folder under the installer project, and doing registration as necessary. Does Wix have a good/better solution for this? 3. If I'm just starting out with Wix, is the V3.5 beta far enough along that I should consider it? (Maybe based on #5 below?) 4. My current Windows Installer has a custom action. Will /Dark/Candle/Light/ deal with this OK? 5. I need some number of User Interface data entry forms . However, some User Interface forms should have a conditional property that is set based on a previous user selection (check box) on a previous User Interface form. With the straight-up Windows Installer, you cannot have a conditional user interface, nor is it possible to return information from a custom action to act further on, say in setting up registry entries. How can Wix help here?
