If visual studio crashes when build at 1h45 you should add RunAsSeparateProcess="true" in HeatDirectory

EXCELLENT video! I love longer-form instructional videos that spend time explaining the WHY, not just the HOW. Really helps the information to stick!

A truly fantastic tutorial. Very well explained. Clear and concise and too the point. I also liked that you left your errors in and worked through them. This helped me tremendously as I was following along building my installer package. The amount of work you put into this is unreal. Great job.

This is one of the best coding tutorials I've watched all year. Thanks so much for explaining all of this!

Seriously, this is great video. Love the fact you're going through this as a developer, with typos and oops here and there, and fixing those on the fly, rather than the polished rubbish we see elsewhere at times. Keep up the great work. Subscribed.

I can't thank you enough for this. Wix is... daunting, at best, for someone dropping by parachute with no experience on it and the need to do an installer on a pinch. Been following your Avalonia material in particular and it's been a great help too.

I'd like to say that this is the best video and template on the topic so far that I found within about 4 days of quite thorough searching. Thank you so much for helping to get a firm start in this difficult direction.

Most comprehensive tutorial on creating an installer with WIX. Thanks a bunch

Thank you....a million thank you...How can I thank you brother. You are investing your time to help others. Anyone can become programmer with help of rare people like you. I wish you would be my boss. I could have learnt a lot from you. With lots of love from India

Very comprehensive wix tutorial. Many thanks for detailed video. I come from a NSIS background and find WiX always difficult. This video help me a lot to understand the fundamentals of WiX. Thanks once again for your time and effort.

Thank you for the awesome video. This helped me build an installer for an opensource project and I'm proud of what I accomplished thanks to you.

Thank you very much for this tutorial - it was perfect and fits absolutly everything i was looking for. Saved me 3-4 Days of research and developement. First Class in terms of content and presentation. Cheers

Wonderful video! I salute you. Exactly what I needed. Thank you for this contribution to the dev community.

An excellent video! Was porting my installer from a Visual Studio Setup project to WiX, was a litte bit lost before this video. This video is a true gem.

Great introduction to Wix! Thanks for your time and effort in making this. Only 197 (now 198) likes out of 23k views??? For shame.

Absolutely fabulous! thanks a lot dude for sharing all your knowledge here. I just cant thank you enough!

Amazing effort and a very very helpful video as a result. Anybody else looking - note that this is not just helpful for dotnet core. I'm working with .net framework and it took me from confused to feeling on top of the subject.

Just want to add my thanks to the rest. Great explanation and was just the right information to get started from. Cheers!

Awesome explanation, I have tried these steps to create MSI using HeatWave Wix4. Thanks a lot.

Great Video, Exactly what I need. Your video helping people like me in 2021.

A super good video! Well explained and it worked with Visual Studio 2019. Thank you very much

Really useful! Changing from Inno setup to Wix right now!

Thank you AngelSix for this video, pretty thorough. Not a lot of good videos for this important tool. I'd like to suggest a follow up video of installing multiple instances.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge! It is very much appreciated!

God bless you mate. Amazing tutorial.

Very helpful and Wonderful video! Amazing effort and a very very helpful video as a result.

This was very helpful, thanks so much!

Really nice video! Thanks for sharing!

Very helpful -- it would have taken me much longer to get this from bits and pieces of other tutorials.

Thank you very much. Great tutorial!! Keep on the good work :)

Great video, very useful! I'm shocked that it's 2020 already and there is still no better technology than WIX to create installers (

One of the worthiest videos on KZfaq.

Thank you! Very clear and to the point.

Awesome tutorial, Thanks!!

Thank you so much! This was so helpful!

Thank you so much, man! It's perfect!

Excellent video with tons of useful information. Just 2 comments: 1) In the Win-Installer project, referencing the Console project generated an error, but once I removed the reference, it compiled just fine. 2) Adding the following line in the Products.wxs file: Generated the following error: "Undefined preprocessor variable '$(var.ConsoleApp-Wix.ProjectDir)'.", so I had to comment it out. As a result, Icon="icon.ico" could not be added in the MainAppShortcut. Not sure why the above errors, but everything else worked like a charm. BTW, I'm using VS 2019. Thanks a bunch.

Awesome Video .......Thanks A lot!!!. for this video. It is very Helpful and covering all details. .... Plz also make such a detail video on Web Deployment. Thanks once again... :)

Really useful video. Thank you for the help 👍😛

Wish I's seen this 5 years ago. Thnx

Thanks for your valuable video!

Nice mate!!! Well done content and for free! Thx!

Thank you sir, great tutorial!

Great tutorial, thanks

Thanks so much. ! Great Video.

Wonderful video!, Great video, very useful!. Thank you ...

Took me about 3 to 4 hours to follow your video and simultaneously get it to work for my project. That video was so helpful, I can't thank you enough. Absolutely the right amount of depth so that one can understand what's going on and why we need to do certain stuff, without going into a full deep dive.

Thanks a lot, helped much.

Salute from halifax, nova scotia! thank you

Thanks, this was great

Thanks a lot. That helped understand a lot of tags and settings in the Wxs files and how to create a package. Had a query, when we use the Heat exe in the before build, is it possible to specify files that we would like to ignore? Also could explain bundle of multiple msi packages into one exe package

thank you very much, realy thank you great tutorial

As others have already said, great content and thoroughly appreciated you helping us out...I am getting a build error however when following along...Undefined preprocessor variable '$(var.ProductCode)'. Maybe something has changed since this was posted? I'm using WIX 3.11.2. Any help appreciated.

Great videos as always thanks a bunch. It would be great if you could break it it down into smaller sessions of 10-20 minutes each video. Like dividing it in to chapters and add small stuff to the installer each time. Its hard to follow a 2+ hour video or find what you were looking for in a few months from now.

Super helpful! Thanks a lot. One question, what's the command to automatically uninstall an older version when installing a later version?

This is awsome, thank you! Do you have advice on wix v4+ aswell? a functioning implementation of a installer with WiX 4 or 5 would be awesome ....

Greate Video. Thanks

really nice video and well explained but what theme is that? how did you get system-wide dark mode? i really cannot take my retinas getting burnt EVERY SINGLE NIGHT anymore

Regarding the ARP* definitions, you were typing the answer all along (A)dd/(R)emove (P)rograms. When you first typed "APP" instead of "ARP" I kept barking at my screen, "ARP, NOT APP!" lol. Otherwise great walkthrough of WIX!

perfect video for beginner ...

Thank you good video

Incredible video. I just subscribed. One question ... I'm building an msi for a winforms application and it works great. But I want to build an update and I keep getting the "already installed" error. Do I have to change the Product Codes if the version changes? (but never change the Upgrade Code). Only if the assembly version doesn't change can I leave the product codes the same, correct? Thanks again!

Very good tutorial

Excellent!

Hello, very informative tutorial, thank you. I was wondering how can we add say a MongoDB as service during installation, which means I have to install MongoDB during install my application. Any suggestions?

Hello Luke, This video has really helped me a great deal. I have been able to develop an installer successfully but when i try to write to Sqlite database (from Client side) ,i get "SQLite error 8 attempt to write to read only database ".How can one make the install folder and database file able to implement changes?

Thank you so much... :)

THANK YOU MAN!

Thanks for the video. Can you please make the video for custom action also either in C# or C++. I have 6 checkbox on customize dialog and corresponding checkbox have radio button. If user deselect the check box corresponding radio button should get disabled. How to make such feature

A big thank you. Do you think you will ever make an "advanced tutorial" with Burn for example ?

Thanks a lot.
