WiX v5 is here! Let us help.
HeatWave Build Tools
Be more productive using the WiX Toolset with the HeatWave Build Tools from FireGiant.
- Leverage features not available in the open source WiX Toolset.
- Simple, fair licensing with no pesky serial numbers or activations.
- Works seamlessly on build machines for continuous integration—just like WiX itself.
MSIX Extension
Create MSIX installation packages from the same source code that creates your MSI packages today.
- Produce MSI, MSIX, and AppX packages at the same time.
- Maintain a single set of .wxs source code.
- Integrate seamlessly into your existing build.
- Detailed error messages help porting to Nano Server and Windows 10 desktop applications.
Advanced Harvesting
Advanced harvesting is a simple yet powerful harvesting mechanism that makes it easy to incorporate select files from a folder or Visual Studio project.
- Follows Windows Installer best practices.
- More powerful than Heat.exe and easier to use. No more XSL.
Additional Functionality
- 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 code bootstrapper applications for Burn bundles. It lets your code focus on user interface and business logic while FGBA handles the implementation of bootstrapper logic, threading, and memory management.
