For a few years I've maintained a behemoth of an installation written in Installshield that has hit a point that it's really just too much to maintain. I had some thoughts of using a front end with multiple MSIs on the back end for various pieces, and have come to find out that burn seems to fit this quite nicely. I started by familiarizing myself with WiX and replacing a few pieces of the installation with WiX built merge modules, and now would like to throw myself in head first with burn. For the final product, I know there will have to be some custom UI for user input, which I think means building my own BootstrapApplication. Since the application already requires .NET, I'd prefer to use WPF if possible. I know there's an example of that in Setup/UX in the source, but for the life of me I can't get it to build. I got Nant .90 and tried using make.bat, but it complains that I'm missing the test projects. I removed those from the build(I believe) , and it complains that .NET 4.0 isn't supported. I switched to NAnt .91 Alpha2 and it crashes on me. So, if anyone can point me in the direction of some Burn literature, or help me get the source building, it'd be much appreciated. I'm relatively new to all of this, so I'm sure I'm just missing things.
