WiX v6.0.2 has been released

Thursday, August 28, 2025

In early celebration of Labor Day, we're releasing WiX v6.0.2—a very minor bug-fix release. Rob suggested we could release on Labor Day, as releasing on holidays is a well-established WiX tradition. I provided documentation that the intent of Labor Day was not, in fact, to do extra labor, so we're releasing today instead.

WiX v6.0.2 has been released

WiX v6.0.2 is a minor bug-fix release for WiX v6. How minor of a bug-fix release? There is a bug fix and yes, the singular is correct:

This fix is for a FireGiant customer who reported a regression in splash-screen scaling from WiX v3.14. WiX v3.14 didn’t do any scaling, so got it “for free” from Windows for being a non-DPI-aware process. Burn is DPI-aware starting in WiX v4 but the splash-screen scaling looked worse. Now it looks better.

You can get the latest WiX MSBuild SDK, WiX .NET tool, or every last bit from the GitHub release.
