    WiX is a lifesaver! Since Microsoft provides no proper authoring tools for MSI, and other commercial products are bloated and expensive, WiX is the best option for creating MSI installers fairly easily.

    A very elegant and efficient installer. XML layout makes maintenance on installation scripts a pleasure.

    Nice and Easy to use.

    Great toolset! Very powerful and quite simple to use. Would be even better if there were more regular releases of the compiled toolset, rather than having to download and compile from source. Any chance of a new release of the WiX 3.6 Beta in a binary?

    WiX has turned my installations from a pain to a joy. It simplifies the whole process in a way that I am nothing but pleased with.

    The tool relates to Windows Installer like C relates to assembler, and therefore it has unlimited flexibility. I spent just 8 weeks in order to completely(!) understand all the technology and parallelly(!) applying it in my work project!

    As XAML is to UI development, so is WiX to installations.

    Fine product and great tutorial to get you going.

    Really good! And really easy to include in a Makefile project.

    Beats out all other installer softwares i've used (or rather, had to use for my job) by a landslide! I will never go back to using WISE or any other POS graphical installation tool again. Thanks WIX team!

    Complete and very useful. I can't imagine any other way of writing installers.
