I'm coming from having managed adequately with the old (now removed) VS deployment project to install desktop Windows applications, so the normal things that did - install EXEs and documentation files, registry keys, links to installed files, with a basic installer UI for license agreement, target folder, etc. (which I now know WiX provides for). >We don't *purposefully* make WiX toolset hard to learn. Good :) > I'm a little surprised that you didn't find the Tutorial and Book links. Is there something that could be improved to help you find more of the resources that are online? After having downloaded and installed the product, I naturally used the documentation that was installed in preference to anything online on the assumption that the product and its supplied documentation were somewhat in step with each other.
