How to Enable WiX Projects in Visual Studio 2015

Question

When I go the the New Project dialog in Visual Studio 2015, Windows Installer XML isn\'t available. How can I enable WiX projects in Visual Studio 2015?

Answer 1

This was also my issue before, and it looks like Chris Schiffhauer's answer isn't the best solution by now, as WiX 3.9 or earlier is not specifically build for Visual Studio 2015.

The solution is just to install the latest builds of WiX v3.10 from this link as what they replied on their tweets: https://twitter.com/wixtoolset/status/597796279729528833

@5ervant latest builds of WiX v3.10 support @VisualStudio 2015.

I only have Visual Studio Community 2015 RC when I'm looking for a solution, and upon following Chris' answer, after installing WiX Toolset v3.9 R2, I didn't found the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE folder nor the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7 folder in my system.
