I was reading on Windows Installer Expert Stefan Krueger's InstallSite Blog today that that the Visual Studio team is finally incorporating WiX into VSTS. I am very pleased to hear this and I can't help think `about time`. :-)
Regular readers of my blog are no doubt aware that I've been advocating over and over for months that Microsoft make WiX a priority.
Getting the core tool set in VSTS is a very good step but there is still a huge gap in the authoring/designer/editing tools. Considering Microsoft has purchased other products for inclusion in VSTS ( TeamPlain ), I think Microsoft should seriously consider purchasing WiXAware and incorporating it into VSTS as well. This would be a very potent combination of technology that would really make me rethink which tools I use to write my installs.
Eitherway, congratulations go to Rob Mensching.
