Build an msi package for Csharp using WiX

Preface

This page will describe in short terms how to build an msi package for an Csharp (C#) project. The resulting package will not give the end user any installation options to choose between.

Prerequisites

• Visual Studio. I used 2015 version.
• An C# project that does not need the end user to select install options.
• WiX --> http://wixtoolset.org/releases/ This was written while v3.10.3 was lates stable release.
• WaX --> In VS 2015 go to "Tools" -> "Extensions and updates", then click "Online" and in the search box type “wax”
