I have written an installer using WIX for a product, which uses:

  • custom extensions
  • custom actions
  • customized ui dialogs

etc.

I noticed Microsoft Office Installer uses WPF and was wandering how I would go about creating these custom looking installers? does anyone know how i would go about this, I cant seem to find any information on it or examples.

I have been told Wix Burn can do what I want but I can’t find any examples.

    Download the WiX latest (weekly) release source code at http://wixtoolset.org/releases and look at the project located in src\Setup\WixBA. The WPF you write will be the bootstrapper UI which references the WiX bootstrapper engine (Burn).

    I also created a minimal example that I blogged about here. Please note that it is a bare bones example to get someone started. Using the WiX source as an example is better because it’s complete and robust.
