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:
WiXAware
WiXAware's Windows Installer authoring tool makes it a snap to create professional MSI installs. No complex scripting or database knowledge required. WiXAware can be found here:
WiXDrip - Directory Rip
WiX Directory Rip, or Drip is a tool to help create WiX installers. 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.
Please refer to the WixDrip section for more information on this WiX installation creation tool. WiXDrip is available for download here:
