Why isn't WiX mentioned there? Seems odd when we had all heard at some point that WiX was going to be included with Visual Studio...

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Question from a WiX Votive newbie You know that MSI setup projects in Visual Studio are disappearing anyway, right?

Briefly, I am getting spun up on WiX as a plausible upgrade from the basic Setup (VDPROJ) project that Visual Studio 2010 offices out of the box. Can someone tell me briefly, how does it compare? Besides doing what the Setup project does by automatically detecting dependencies, generating an MSI output, folder organization, registry actions, and other custom actions... I am interested that WiX Votive supports custom dialogs? Also that it can be incorporated into a solution seamlessly during a Continuous Integration build using MSBuild is a huge plus (you don't even know...). Thank you...
