Posted on

WiX v3.0.5217.0 was released on Friday, 17-April-2009. You can download it from http://wix.sourceforge.net/releases/3.0.5217.0/ or from the WiX SourceForge.net releases page.

There are 10 v3.0 bugs still open. See Rob’s bug breakdown.

Announcement

WiX v3.0.5217.0 is the WiX v3.0 RC2 build. We encourage all users to upgrade to this build for the latest fixes and to help verify that WiX v3.0 is ready for release.

Changes

The following changes are since my last WiX Highlights entry for WiX v3.0.5120.0. There have been several WiX releases since then but this is my first relatively calm weekend since relocating to Cambridge to write them up.
