WiX: A Developer's Guide to Windows Installer XML下载

Chapter 1, Getting Started, explains how after downloading and installing the WiX toolset, you'll start using it right away to create a simple installer. Then, you'll see how to add a basic user interface to it, install it with logging turned on, and view its internal database. Chapter 2, Creating Files and Directories, gives you deeper understanding of how files are installed and what is the best way to organize them in your project. You'll then use the tool heat.exe to generate WiX markup. Last, you'll learn about copying and moving files, and installing special-case files. Chapter 3, Putting Properties and AppSearch to Work, gets you introduced to Windows Installer properties as you create your own and use those that are built in. Later, you'll check the end user's computer for specific files, directories, Registry keys, and INI file settings using AppSearch.
