Process

As shown in Schema the basic file schema is:

<wix namepace="...">
  <!-- describes the app being installed -->
    <product>
      <!-- describes the msi package of the product -->
   <package/>
   <!-- describes the cab's within the msi -->
   <media/>
    </product>
</wix>

The product tag is created with a unique id as follows:

<product Id="c2a7..."
         Manufacturer="XAct Software Solutions, Inc."
         Name="TheProduct"
         Version="0.0.1"
         UpgradeCode="d4e3...">
  <Package InstallerVersion="200"
           Compressed="yes"
           Manufacturer="XAct Software Solutions, Inc."
           Description="A wonderful app!"
           Comments="..."
           Platform="x86"
           InstallerPriveleges="elevated"
           InstallScope="perMachine"/>
