My organization frequently generate KB articles for our users with long series of manual corrective steps. We plan to start building automated packages to simplify and reduce human error - Similar to a Microsoft KB with 'Fix it for me'/'let me fix it myself' options - e.g. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2551554/en-us
These would need to be standalone, not an msi patch package to apply to an already deployed msi. They'd be performing validation and configuration of various Windows Server components (registry, file system, Print & IIS role services), SQL Server, and custom application components. Would WiX work well as a framework for building such packages? We also looked into Windows Troubleshooting Platform <https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd323778%28v=vs.85%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396> (feature-set is too small), NSIS and building something ourselves in C#. WiX seems like the best option once past the initial learning curve.
