Re: [WiX-users] Writing a WiX tutorial
Hi Natalie, Have you seen the tutorial at http://wix.tramontana.co.hu/? You may want to emulate this, since it's a good tutorial for general use, but you may want one tailored to your team and your product. You should include topics on things that you use (for example, Burn, patching and early REPs), as well as WiX/MSI conventions and best practices. Also describe how your code is organised and how you'd build it.

Re: [WiX-users] Writing a WiX tutorial
Let me guess, your colleagues don't have an installer / windows installer / wix experience and they think that a couple of quick how to's will explain everything? Am I close and/or cynical? 10 FWIW, I've had 12 jobs in 16 years. I always document unique specifics but it's not my job to teach someone how to be a setup developer when I give my two weeks notice. It isn't possible in that amount of time.

Re: [WiX-users] Writing a WiX tutorial
I had no experience with WiX, but that very same tutorial that's been referenced and this mailing list has brought me up to speed. But if your superiors want you spending your time on updating the wheel (as opposed to other more useful things you could be doing), so be it. Could you at least post this newer tutorial somewhere?

Re: [WiX-users] Writing a WiX tutorial
Hi everyone, I am only a placement student and will be returning to complete my studies in September. I have created all new setups for the company I am working for, I want to leave documents on how to maintain the setups I have created and also how to do small modifications as nobody is familiar with WiX. It will not be a case of teaching someone it all, that would be impossible. One year later and things are still foreign to me. :) In the tutorial I will be outlining the main aspects of this, etc. and off course I will post it (I doubt it will be much help to anyone as I am such a newbie..lol) Thanks for all your replies.
