Creating installer for the desktop application with the help of the wix, while doing desktop application deployment is also major role to play, you need a setup of your product, so you can either create a MSI of your product and ask end user to have the prerequisites install by himself or you choose to prepare a bundle of prerequisite application that you wanted to make sure present on the target PC to get start and run your application, like in my case .net framework, mssql compact and k-lite codec as a part of prerequisites for my product. So I decided to make an MSI for my product and create a bundle of prerequisites and my product MSI, so end user doesn’t have to install all the prerequisites individually. My single installer will check that on target machine and install one by one all prerequisites on target machine and then final my product.
