To those who complain about the poor documentation: that's the whole point. The maintainer offers consulting services ($5,000/yr.). It is in his interest that users should need his help.
It's worth it for commercial customers. It's a fair business model for an Open Source project.
- Kwpolska 3y agoTo have customers for their consulting business, they first need to convince people WiX is the way to go, and if there are no docs and developers struggle with building the most basic installer, they would probably try looking elsewhere before burning $5000. Speaking of $5000, that’s $500 more than a 3-year InstallShield subscription.

I get their toolage is for visual studio projects but I wrote this outside of that so I'm on my own.
