Usage of WixSharp to build MSI for installing and uninstalling applications.
WixSharp makes it easy to author the logic for listing all the dependencies of your application for deployment. It converts the C# code to wxs file which in turn is compiled to build the MSI.

The appeal in using such libraries is to be able to get the task done sooner with few lines of code. The earlier way of writing and editing WXS file was error prone and tedious.
