Registering an Assembly for COM Interop in a MSI file with the Windows Installer XML toolset.

Imagine a blog entry where I dig into problems to think about when writing CustomActions and try to provide a better solution for registering COM Interop for .NET assemblies.

End of the beginning for the Windows Installer XML toolset.

Imagine a blog entry about the time when the Windows Installer XML toolset bug count seemed manageable and Rob was going to have to start writing documentation.

So you want to be a Windows Installer XML developer?

People have started expressing interest in joining the Windows Installer XML toolset development community so I figured I should get some administrative details out of the way. If you are interested in contributing code to the Windows Installer XML toolset, it is very important to read through all four of these topics.

Windows Installer XML, one day later...

After 24 hours of posting the first blog entry about the Windows Installer XML toolset being public, I just want to take care of a couple quick things. Then back to sleep.

Windows Installer XML (WiX) toolset has released as Open Source on SourceForge.net

The oft promised Windows Installer XML (WiX) toolset has released under a true Open Source Software license (Common Public License) on SourceForge.net (a first for Microsoft). The WiX toolset is a command-line compiler and linker for creating Windows Installer packages (MSI and MSM files) from XML source code. This blog entry kicks off a new category “Windows Installer Xml (WiX)” where I will talk about building MSI files with the toolset.
