With the release of the WiX, I’m trying to read more about how to make an installer, and what exactly can be done with installers. While I definitely know the typical user experience with an installer, I know next to nothing about creating one. My only experience is with using the installers that can be made with Visual Studio’s tools, and not even much with that.

Thankfully, Aaron Stebner linked a page which contains a description of all the installation tools that are part of the Windows Platform SDK, among which includes the MSI help file (which I’m definitely going to take a look through), along with a ton of other cool tools.
