Usage

The following example shows how to create a project using the msi lifecycle to build the matrix x86 and x64 platforms for english and german

<project>
  ...
  <packaging>msi</packaging>
  
  <properties>
    <wix.locales>1033:en-US,1031:de-DE;en-US</wix.locales>
  </properties>

  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>com.github.wix-maven</groupId>
        <artifactId>wix-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <extensions>true</extensions>
        <configuration>
          <platforms>
            <arch>x86</arch>
            <arch>x64</arch>
          </platforms>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>

Using wix extensions, add as a dependency.

 WiX v4+ uses the unified <<<wix.exe>>> CLI and a string-based extension model.

Constraints:

• msix packaging requires WiX v4+.
• arm64 platform requires WiX v4+.

  Common extension name migration:

• WixUIExtension -> WixToolset.UI.wixext * WixUtilExtension -> WixToolset.Util.wixext * WixBalExtension -> WixToolset.Bal.wixext * WixIISExtension -> WixToolset.Iis.wixext * WixVSExtension -> WixToolset.VisualStudio.wixext * WixNetFxExtension -> WixToolset.Netfx.wixext * WixFirewallExtension -> WixToolset.Firewall.wixext * WixDirectXExtension -> WixToolset.DirectX.wixext * WixHttpExtension -> WixToolset.Http.wixext properties wix.groupIdorg.wixtoolset/wix.groupId wix.version3.7/wix.version /properties
