WiX (as seen in VS2010) Documentation CTP – What is WiX, how to use it

This download contains documentation with information on how to use WiX to create Microsoft Windows Installer-based deployment packages. The Windows Installer XML (WiX) platform is a set of tools and specifications that allow you to easily create Windows Installer database files. The WiX tools model the traditional compile and link model used to crate executables from source code. For WiX, source code is written in XML files. These files are validated against a schema, wix.xsd, then processed by a preprocessor, compiler, and linker to create the desired result. The WiX platform has been designed to allow for the easy creation of multiple Windows Installer databases from a small set of source files.
