[wix-users] WiX nuget package

[Nir Bar]

You can use the official https://www.nuget.org/packages/WiX/3.11.2



Alternatively use my custom WiX package https://www.nuget.org/packages/PanelSW.Custom.WiX with some fixes and changes:

- https://github.com/wixtoolset/issues/issues/5309 attribute creates a bootstrapper that requires elevation when launched

- Support canceling the build when using MSBuild

- https://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/xsd/wix/remotepayload.html can be specified on any package payload rather than the main setup file

- Add https://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/overview/heat.html harvest type "payload_dir" to harvest a PayloadGroup. Specify -url link to set base DownloadUrl for remote payloads

- Fix WiX issue https://github.com/wixtoolset/issues/issues/6144: Support multiple attached containers in bundles. Enables bootstrappers larger than 2GB

- Fix WiX issue https://github.com/wixtoolset/issues/issues/6174: Fix bloated bootstrapper when authoring detached containers



Either way, after installing the package close the solution and then reopen it for the changes to take effect

I am looking for the proper way to use WiX nuget package on the build server without installing WIX tools. Is there some documentation or examples available? 
 
Thank you, 
Alex
