  The often promised Windows Installer XML (WiX)
toolset has released under a true Open Source Software
license (Common Public License) on SourceForge.net (a
first for Microsoft). The WiX toolset is a
command-line compiler and linker for creating Windows
Installer packages (MSI and MSM files) from XML source
code. This blog entry kicks off a new category
Windows Installer Xml (WiX) where I will talk about
building MSI files with the toolset.
