[wix-users] Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller documentation

[Edwin Castro]

Hi Phill,

This is a little off-topic, but have you ever considered writing a blog on
how to use Lux/Nit and other WiX tools to implement such a TDD workflow? I
have found it generally difficult to grasp how you would go about testing
custom actions in general. I also write C++ custom actions but I don't know
as much about testing in C++. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
