How can I best learn WiX5 / MSI architecture?

[ChristianTellefsen]

Hi WiX people!

I recently inherited a WiX3 solution which I plan to upgrade to WiX5 with the FireGiant VS2022 plugin. What's the best way to learn WiX5? Are there any online courses or guides that explain the architecture of WiX, how to develop solutions using WiX5, and so on? The examples I have found so far seem to be mostly "hello world" and how to click through a basic project with maybe a few extra bells and whistles. There was a nice web guide on FireGiant , but it did not go into great detail either.

I have never worked with WiX 3-5 and never made MSI installers, but know C#/.NET/XML and have 25+ years of professional experience coding all kinds of thingamabobs in various companies, so the guide can assume some general dev knowledge. :D

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,
Christian
