Which version of WiX is going to be distributed with VS 2010

Earlier this week I posted a question on the WiX user list. The question was: Which version of WiX is being distributed with Visual Studio 2010?

As you probably know by know (at least if your interested in msi and deployment) is that WiX will ship as part of Visual Studio 2010. To make a long story short, the answer is 3.0. This was expected, but I was still curious. Having WiX v. 3.0 with VS means that all developers have the option to create advanced installations using Windows Installer, and also to create Custom Actions (CA’s) in managed code!

.Net | Deployment | VisualStudio

Cool, I didn't know WiX would be included also. WiX is a great tool to create installers.

Yes, WiX is cool and it will be in the CTP we get at PDC :-) They haven't commited completely for WiX support, but I'm sure they'll continue to have it in there going forward.

about me!

Hi, I'm Jon Arild Tørresdal. I work as R&D Manager and Chief Architect for CMA Contiki in Bergen, Norway where I've been working since 2003. I'm also the leader of Norwegian .Net User Group (NNUG) in Bergen. Since 1999 I've been working on Microsoft technology, mostly .Net. I'm an early adapter always looking for new ways to put technology to use for the company I work for, at NNUG or just as an excuse to do some coding at home.

I've been focusing quite a lot on agile development and in 2006 I introduced Scrum to Contiki, which gave us great value. Lately my focus has been to adapt more of the practices found in Extreme Programming and motivate developers, testers and other agile team members to adapt these to improve the overall quality of our delivery. My motivation for studying these practices is to constantly improve the way I and others work in my organization; both by having fun and adding value to our customers.

I'm also known to do tech talks. I have an urge to communicate my discoveries, passions and other interesting things that I feel should be shared with others. Some of the talks I've done are: .Net Architecture, Scrum, WCF and ClickOnce. In Contiki I often find myself doing presentations on technologies we're about to adapt or how to improve our agile process.

Except from work I am married to my beautiful wife, Gry Helene and we live together in with our son Jesper. I love good food and wine, especially red wine from northern Italy. I'm trying to start a collection without any great luck so far :-)
