I would imagine that It would be fairly complex to do this as Project structure varies widely with lots of files used to make up a wixproj. I expect it would be much easier to create a report out of the final MSI as it has all the information combined and is in a well known database structure with available apis.
Someone has something in vbscript here http://www.symantec.com/connect/downloads/msi-report-generator Or you could heat the final msi to get a combined wix file and use xslt on that maybe?

We would like to develop our installer in an Agile way but we also need to produce documentation on the Features, Components, and files etc. Rather than producing both the Wix project and the documentation, we'd like to generate documentation from the Wix project. Since the Wix XML files are well structured files, we could write a Tool to create documentation from these files however this got me thinking that maybe this already exists.. I did some searching and looked around and couldn't find anything. So, the question is... are there any Wix installer documentation tools around that would save us writing something ourselves?
