[Feature Request] Upgrade WiX to v4
BMurri opened this issue · 4 comments
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
WiX v3 has now been deprecated with the release of v4. Barring barriers to upgrade you should be moving to v4, which better supports modern CI/CD, modern SDK integrations, and all current windows platforms.
Describe the solution you'd like
Currently maintained projects should be keeping up with the tooling they depend on.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Staying with WiX v3 is untenable because it's likely to never receive any updates, security or otherwise, especially as time passes.

@BMurri, we'd welcome a PR to handle this. Please be aware that our current solution uses custom actions, which may complicate the task.
If you feel up to it, we'd also welcome a PR to upgrade our WiX usage in the https://github.com/microsoft/axe-windows repo 😄
I looked at the custom action, upgrading it to v4 is straightforward, but as a setup/deployment expert, I have questions about the advisability of keeping it.
I can also upgrade the other repo if you wouldn't mind opening an issue there and assigning it to me.
@BMurri, the behavior of the custom actions are intentional and desired. Please retain the behavior as it is. Thanks!
The issue for Axe.Windows is microsoft/axe-windows#946. I wasn't able to assign it to you, so you'll probably need to self-assign.
