Hello! I am in process of trying to convince customer who looks for enterprise grade InstallShield installation package improvements. I have proposed to replace it with WiX based installer and pointed him to WiX sourceforge.net site and got a very fast answer with several doubts:
1. " .... The sourceforge site indicates this is still in beta, so it is probally not ready for use for a commercial project which we need to distribute to enterprise customers. ... " 2. " .... I have downloaded the Wix package to take a look, but I could not find any documentation for it, and it does not appear to be a complete package. ... " 3. " .... If I could find a working example of it to see how the user interface looks during an install I might consider using it, but I would perfer either InstallShield or Wise. ... " Obviosuly I could respond to all this and other serius doubts raised by customer myself but I thought that this process may be of interest to WiX community and I may receive good support in finding arguments in favor of WiX. The most important thing is to show enterprise level installation packages created with WiX - please point me to most prominent installation packages created using WiX toolset which at the best should be available for download and testing. Please indicate as well: 1) links to the latest but still complete packages (i.e. not requiring hunting for dependencies, docs or WiX tools) working out of box - I almost always had a lot problems using packages downloaded from sourceforge. 2) links to authoritative sites describing WiX package 3) links to most recent documetation available online.
