I’ve used WiX for the installer for a small sandbox project or two. I’m now looking to use it for something bigger. Getting back to the could of WiX ebooks I’ve got (WiX 3.6: A Developer’s Guide to Windows Installer XML and WiX Cookbook). One conclusion so far is that a project with tens of files involved is going to make for a long WiX configuration file…

I’ve read one of these to support my previous WiX work (service installation which for C# based services pretty much requires an installer). Non-sandbox work needs a somewhat deeper view though.
