There are two places to add documentation: 1. Reference data - if you want to enhance the text for any given element then you just add more annotations to the wix.xsd. All of the reference material is generated from that source.
2. Introduction and How-to guides - if you want to add content outside of the reference data that is part of the wix\src\chm directory. It's basically just HTML files referenced by the table of contents (toc.xml). All very easy. -----Original Message----- From: Frankenspank [mailto:frankensp...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, December 29, 2008 12:35 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] WIX 3 - Suggestions Rob, Thanks for your response. If I have extra time this week I can look into creating a WIX extension for the package registration. I don't mind adding to existing documentation if there is any easy way to do it. Let me know if the manual is online in some sort of wiki or other editable form and I will be happy to document any gems that I uncover. Also, when I click on Wix manual, I get this link: http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/wix_index.htm but I am really expecting is: http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/main.htm so that was confusing.
