I am currently finishing up on a generic system which we will sell to many different customer with different needs. So, as a result this generic system is based on extensions, or add-ins.
Now I am thinking how to best write an installer for this. Although I could copy-n-paste the entire WiX project every time I make a new customer-specific extension, I think that is quite the wrong way to go about writing the installer for this system. So, I am thinking patches, or maybe transformations? An installer for the system itself, and then a patch with the customer specific bits. This way, I get to maintain a single installer with upgrade codes etc. and a simple patch installer for each customer project. On paper that should be simple enough, but how do I do that? I am currently still learning WiX, so my knowledge is, at best, shaky. So I need a bit of help. How do I create patches for a specific installer, and is the plan actually sound?
