[Interest] Installer Recommendations

[Jérôme Godbout]

I up vote for wix, can integrate into Visual Studio and MSBuild. I use it with VS, MsBuild and Jenkins. Msi are still a pain (compared to rpm, debian package ) but at least the doc are ok and it's free.

This is similar to what you would do with otool on OSX, or ldd on Linux.  Then, given the discovered dependencies the program generates the necessary XML to feed the WiX toolchain.  Code signing the installer is still a manual task.
