WiX v6.0.1 has been released
Thursday, June 5, 2025
WiX v6.0.1 is a minor bug-fix release for WiX v6.0.0. It’s available today, 5-June-2025, two months after what would normally have been the WiXmas holiday of 5-April. WiX v6.0.1 contains a number of fixes for bugs affecting supported FireGiant customers and one I-can’t-believe-I-caused-that-bug bug that was severe enough to backport the fix from WiX v7. Here’s a list of all the issues that were fixed:
-
Bundle splash screen showing on removal of previous base version during upgrade, from @yuvnith, fixed by @barnson
-
Upgrading to Wix Toolset v6 Causes Build Exception, from @oollie34, fixed by @barnson
-
WixBundleSourceProcessPath and WixBundleSourceProcessFolder should be resurrected, from @barnson, fixed by @barnson
-

-
