[wix-users] Using Wix in GitHub actions

[Rob Mensching]

WiX is already installed as part of the GitHub 2019 Windows images. The wix.targets file are in the standard MSBuild folder.

Subject: [wix-users] Using Wix in GitHub actions

I am trying to use Wix in a GitHub actions project using the Windows Server 2019 runner. When I inspect what is installed in the wix environment variable path (resolves to C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.11\) I can’t find Wix.targets file. When I downloaded the current release, zip file, the file is included. And the tutorial also mentions this file. I have been using MSbuild tasks for years in an older Wix version, but I feel I am doing what I should be doing.

So my question is, how am I supposed to use the Wix version in the GitHub runner?

I’ve attached the file list of the Wix installation in the runner.
