Description

@untra

wix4 released just a few weeks ago, with support for building installers for arm64 architectures.

We are investigating tools for building msi's. We use gradle for our build system, and I'm investigating this project. We are looking to build an installer for arm64 architectures, ideally on arm64 windows, and would like to bundle jre 1.17. I'm performing some experiments this next week and will report back my findings of using SetupBuilder with wix4.

I just wanted to know if this was on this tools roadmap. I'm Looking forward to an upcoming release with that fix.

cheers

We does not have test wix4. There was no progress for many years on it. There are large structure changes. Can that this required a completely new project to handle the differences.

If you want use only arm64 target then this should already possible with version 3 of Wix: https://wixtoolset.org/docs/v3/xsd/wix/package/

But it will not work to run SetupBuilder on an arm platform.

We bundle Java 17 with our products. This is no problem.
