Update to Wix v5 #40

Open szyb opened 1 month ago

Honestly, this is a very useful project for every WiX Toolset project. However now it is 2024 and WiX is going forward and they released v5 of their Toolset which is not compatible with msiext (which targets v3).

Most (or maybe all) of those extensions would work in version 5 after upgrading by using included upgrade tool from WiX. I've been tested it by upgrading ServiceCredDlg to version 5 and compiled into my setup. It works, together with custom actions, which works with v5 without recompiling them.

Please consider upgrade all extensions and dialogs to WiX version 5.

I haven't used msiext in a decade, but please do contribute! Happy to review PRs and promote new maintainers.
