Wix toolset 'Hello world' example for Version 5.x

[matthias-scholze]

Hello,

I am new to the Wix environment and am looking for a ‘Hello World’ example.

I started with Wix version 5.x. Unfortunately I could not create a WXS based on the documentation, Youtube videos (focus here is version 3 and 4) and ChatGPT, which I could then compile. I wanted to implement a simple example without an IDE integration which a file is installed by the installer in a predefined directory. From there, I wanted to implement my requirements step by step.

Can someone provide me with a sample WXS file or even better a sample Wix project in GitHub.
I would be very happy about that. Thank you!

Regards
Matthias

Check out the WiX tutorial. It steps through each part of the "Hello World" template and more.
