Project Description
We take our custom actions seriously.
AppSecInc. Community MSI Extensions is a collection of MSI custom actions and WIX extensions that extend Windows installer, originally developped by
Application Security Inc. for a large enterprise product, and open-sourced in late 2009. The project grew and continues growing incrementally implementing everything that wix didn't have out of the box. All custom actions
and extensions are fully unit-tested.
