# PoshWix

PoshWix is an opinionated and trivially simple tool to produce MSI packages from PowerShell modules

# Getting started

Ensure the WIX toolset is installed (see http://wixtoolset.org/)

Install the PoshWix module and, in a PowerShell module source directory create 

a WIX specification with the same name as your module (for instance `FooBar.wxs`). You can use

the current module's `PoshWix.wxs` file as a sample (juste ensure you change the 

UpgradeCode to something else). Then execute:

    Write-WixModulePackage

You should get a nice MSI that will install your module in `C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules`

# Documentation

    help Write-WixModulePackage

# TODO

1. Validate version number format to allow for smooth upgrades.
