Hi Wix is a very powerful piece of software. Not for the faint hearted I tell you, steep learning curve in which I struggle with daily but this tutorial helped me loads.
Its a great starting point http://wix.tramontana.co.hu/
Hope this helps you. First of all download the Wix 3.6 toolset as it is the latest stable release. Then go into VS2010 and click new – project – Windows installer Xml – Setup Project.
This will give you the bare bones of the project and the tutorial will help you create a simple MSI installer..:)
