[wix-users] Open Source is must be EveryWhere (MBA using .Net)

[Mike Henseler]

You could write a bootstrapper using open source NSIS script (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System)
https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Main_Page
use Modern UI

Unfortunately, we need it because it's one of the requirements for product certification and also it's a new requirement from the cybersecurity department that applies to the runtime of compiled programming languages.

We designed a simple bootstrapper in C/C++ 15 years ago.
But I don't know how to make an attractive and modern UI in C/C++. Thus, it will be a new challenge.

I hope that WiX v4 will be released as soon as possible. Wish success.
