Funny, I just saw a tweat for a RentACoder job to convert an InstallShield 
project to WiX.   The estimated price range was .... wait for it.... $4 - $99 
USD.

Really?

That's laughable even if you are working in a developing country for $5 - $10 
an 
hour.

So how do you migrate an InstallShield project to Wix?  It's easy.

Step 1: Become an expert in InstallShield, MSI and WiX
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit

I say ??? because the answer is: it depends.  You'd have to look at the 
InstallShield project and source to understand what it's doing and how you 
would 
do it in WiX.
