WiX

WiX is an open source installation environment available from SourceForge. The Windows Installer XML (WiX) is a toolset that builds Windows installation packages from XML source code. The toolset supports a command line environment that developers may integrate into their build processes to build MSI and MSM setup packages. WiX happens to be Microsoft's very first open source environment.

WiX can be found here:

WiXDrip - Directory Rip

Through the process of creating WiX installers, we found that we needed to gather files and assign them GUIDs on an individual level. This process was a laborious effort without some form of automation. WiXAware may have this automation complete now, but at the time, a tool kit was created that could help build WiX modules quickly.
