| WiX.Py is a cross-platform standalone application. It may run on Microsoft Windows and Linux platforms as x86 and x86-64 architectures. Also it can be used as a python package inside python build scripts. | To build MSI package for your app you need creating just a small JSON file of 20-40 lines with description of MSI package features (application name, manufacturer, keywords etc.). No any magic or special knowledge. | WiX.Py is designed to be Docker compatible tool. Thus it allows building MSI packages in CI services without dedicated MSW cloud instance. This one decreases project infrastructure cost and speed-ups builds. | ||
