✨ wixl ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the General Commands Manual — it's the wixl one, section 1, and it's literally your new best friend for building Windows Installer packages 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

wixl — build Windows Installer packages

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

wixl [<option> [<option> ...]] <MSI descriptor>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So like, wixl builds a Windows Installer package using the given descriptor. That's the whole vibe. You hand it a descriptor, it hands you back a Windows Installer package. Iconic behavior honestly. ✨

💖 OPTIONS 💖

okay this is the part you actually came for, no cap. Every single flag, right here:

• -h, --help — print a help message and then dip (exit). 🫶
• --version — print version info and exit. classic.
• -v, --verbose — activate verbose output, aka let it yap and tell you everything it's doing. 🗣️
• -o, --output <file> — output to file. where your lil package goes, you pick.
• -D, --define <variable>=<value> — define the given variable. <variable>=<value>, exactly like that, don't get cute with it.
• -a, --arch <arch> — specify the target architecture. arch can be one of:
  • X86 or INTEL for 32-bit x86
  • IA64 or INTEL64 for Itanium
  • X64 for 64-bit x86
• -I, --includedir <directory> — specify an include directory. 📁
• --wxidir <directory> — specify a system include directory. lowkey different from the one above, don't mix them up bestie.
• -E, --only-preproc — stop after the preprocessing stage. just the pregame, no main event. 💀
