[wix-users] Using Wix in GitHub actions

[Daniel Lidström]

Hello Rob

That cleared up a lot for me. With some modifications to my project file I was able to migrate from having Wix in a local folder to using the installed version and building in GitHub actions.
Thanks!

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.
