Adding IsWix templates to Visual Studio 2015

Question

I'm been searching and investigating a lot, but since this is not my area of expertise I'm a little bit lost.

I have to create an Installer that deploys a static web to a IIS server. After some investigation I started using Wix to create the installer and I discovered isWix . The problem is that in the instruction video when he creates the installer project, he already has isWix integrated to visual studio. He creates a IsWix solution and use use the isWix tool to do the scafolding.

I don't really follow how to add IsWix to my Visual studio.

Answer 1

if you download the iswix.msi from here as you run through the installer there is an option to install the VS project templates. These are disabled by default, so you just need to enable them.

This should then give you the project templates as you're expecting to see.

Hope that helps!
