[wix-users] Automating MSI building

Each customer needs a different conf.ini file and it's becoming
unmanageable to keep it locally. We are looking to streamline the building
process.

Our current thoughts: create an web app API that will take input for
conf.ini, then call WiX tools (candle, light) and return the MSI package.
Our preference is to build web apps on Linux. We've tried to deploy django
apps on Windows before: it's a huge pain and unsupported.

Has anyone built a WiX environment on Linux? Any other thoughts on how to
do this, architecturally?

v/r,

Brett
