Wix 3.6-powerful. Net Deployment Tool

Visual Studio 2012 removes "vs setup" and replaces it with the open-source Wix toolkit to create the installation package. Recently released wix3.6 includes Burn BootProgram/Installation chain, which means that you can not only create installation packages such as the MSI file, but also combine multiple installation packages (such as installation preparation) to provide users with a smoother installation experience. The newly released Wix also includes some new features and fixes more than 500 bugs.

If you are using vs setup, you can use this powershell script to convert the existing vs setup project to the WIX project format.

In addition, compared to editing XML files in a text editor, you can use votive-A vs package. With votive, you can write Wix scripts in Visual Studio, and use functions such as smart sensing, msbuild support, and engineering templates.
