WiX v5 is here! Let us help.
FireGiant WiX v3
FireGiant WiX v3 (FG-WiX) is a version of the open-source WiX v3 Toolset maintained by FireGiant to ensure that our customers have the most stable and the most functional version of WiX v3 available.
- FG-WiX is based on the open-source WiX v3, which FireGiant validates and fixes as needed.
- Available exclusively to Enterprise Support customers.
- FireGiant can create custom fixes or merge individual fixes from open-source WiX v3, without bringing in the risk of unvalidated changes from open-source development branches.
- FireGiant takes care of all compliance issues with the WiX open-source license, removing one of the biggest hurdles many companies face when considering the use of open source in commercial products.
- Transition to FG-WiX from community WiX v3 (and back again, if needed) effortlessly, with no disruption to your source code.
Additional Features
FG-WiX also includes a set of powerful productivity tools not available in open-source WiX.
- The FireGiant MSIX Extension lets you create MSIX packages from existing WiX projects with trivial code updates.
- The FireGiant Driver Extension is a lightweight and robust extension to the Windows Installer to install non-PnP drivers, such as file system filters, without the overhead of DifxApp.
- The FireGiant Bootstrapper Application simplifies the creation of native and managed bootstrapper applications for Burn bundles.
- Advanced Harvesting is a simple and powerful harvesting mechanism that makes it easy to incorporate select files from a folder or Visual Studio project. It’s more powerful than Heat.exe and easier to use.
