Windows Installer and the creation of WiX

Question

We currently use WiX for building our MSI files, and as such it is the only MSI builder I have had experience using. I know you can build installers natively in Visual Studi

Answer 1

WiX creates MSI packages which use Windows Installer. So WiX uses the Windows Installer engine.

Visual Studio is just a WiX alternative, just another setup authoring tool. I don't recommend it because it's extremely limited. It offers only basic features.

If you are happy with WiX, stay with it.
