WixSharp is a C# framework for building complete MSI installers or WiX source code by writing script files in plain C# syntax. It models WiX entities as C# classes, allowing both installer components and custom actions to be authored in a single managed language.
Use cases
- build msi installers from c# scripts
- generate wix xml source code programmatically
- author windows installers without writing xml
- write custom actions in c# instead of c++
- automate windows application deployment packaging
When to choose
- you need to create MSI installers for Windows applications and prefer C# over WiX XML
- you want custom actions and installer logic in the same language as your app
- you want compile-time checking and IntelliSense when authoring installers
When to avoid
- you target non-Windows platforms, since MSI is Windows-only
- you need cross-platform installers like MSIX bundles or Linux packages
- you prefer authoring WiX XML directly with existing WiX tooling
