Move to WiX toolset #26

Closed PawelTroka closed 7 years ago

PawelTroka commented 7 years ago

InstallShield is nice but since it is commercial product (mostly) it is not well supported in Continuous Integration environments. For example we cannot have full CI experience because AppVeyor has no support for InstallShield (as they have Visual Studio Community which is not supported by Install Shield Limited Edition).

WiX is free, open source and a lot of developers use it. WiX provides more control over customization of the installer since it is XML files only. Also as we do have two builts now (NET46 and NET40) it should be easier to built it into one installer with WiX which seems impossible with InstallShield.

This becomes major issue right now as Visual Studio 2017 does not support InstallShield.

A lot of work already done in branch https://github.com/PawelTroka/Computator.NET/tree/VisualStudio2017 Seems like soon we will be able to call it done. Some fine-tuning probably will be needed (like look & feel of new installer) but can be postponed for now.
