Very good. You already use correct capitalization of WiX :-) (lowercase "i"). My suggestions: Read the docs (also available as nice local chm files after install of WiX): http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/main.htm Recommended reading: How To Guides http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/toc.htm WiX tutorial http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/ (not bad, but lots of text which makes it a bit hard to find the important bits.) Very important: http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/major_upgrade.htm Don't try to do anything else but "major upgrades" (in Windows Installer terms). That is: put a brand new GUID into the product id for every new msi you upload anywhere. Always use a tool to generate GUIDs: don't take a GUID and manually count it up in some part to create another GUID. Replace *all* GUIDs if you take wix source code from examples or other projects (like from TortoiseHg :-). Test upgrade/downgrade install before you ever upload a first msi. Make sure previous installs are removed properly. Test on various platforms (I can recommend using virtual machines. I've used the gratis VirtualBox - just don't try to merge snapshots, it's broken). Use only the first three levels in version info (A,B,C in A.B.C.X where A,B,C in 0..65535) and put the version info into all exe and dll files as well (X is ignored by Windows installer when deciding to exchange things). Count up at least C for every new msi you release.
