    The introduction of WiX tutorial gives the basic idea about WiX advantages comparing to other setup development tools (including VS setup projects):

    • declarative approach
    • unrestricted access to Windows
      Installer functionality
    • source code instead of GUI-based
      assembly of information
    • complete integration into application
      build processes
    • possible integration with application
      development
    • support for team development, both
      in-house and third-party
    • free, open source

    Hope this helps.
