WiX
Open-source toolset for authoring Windows Installer (.msi) packages from XML source files.
Definition
The WiX Toolset compiles XML descriptions of an installer into Windows Installer packages. It is the standard open-source alternative to commercial tools like InstallShield for shipping .msi files. WiX is the build backend behind most enterprise Windows installers, including UiPath Studio. Errors compiling custom-action DLLs into SFX cabinets are a common WiX failure mode.
