I am intrigued by the Installer world especially Windows Installers!!
After developing several installers in Installshield , InstallAnywhere , WISE and NSIS, I came across the wonderful world of WIX. Takes a while to get hold of this open source framework but definitely a very powerful tool.
The WIX tutorials are very useful which can be found here:

The only problem is, it does not have all the twists and tweaks one would need if you are making a very complex installer. After spending days and nights of research, I decided to open up this blog for some of the fascinating things I have discovered in the WIX world. All the information we need is so spread out for WIX that putting it all in one place helps for me.
In this blog am assuming you know the basics of WIX and posting some of the challenges that I faced when designing an installer and how I got it to work, thanks to those thousands of people who post online for most issues people face. So, I thought why not be one of them and help my fellow wixers out!!!
