Excelsior Delivery

What's New in version 2.2

WiX integration

The Windows Installer XML (WiX) is a toolset that builds Windows installation packages from XML source code. WiX is an open source project, originally developed by Microsoft and maintained by Rob Mensching.

Since v2.2 Excelsior Delivery can export your project as a set of XML source code for building your installer with WiX, and invoke the WiX tools for you.

It is possible to use Excelsior Delivery as a GUI wizard for WiX or you may use this feature to migrate your project to WiX-based setup authoring tool if necessary.
