  • Best practice

If you create MSI setups with WiX Toolkit you should be aware that tags in your .WXS file will cause your resulting MSI file to grow by the size of EXE file linked in SourceFile attribute.

Don't do this:

<icon id="example.ico" sourcefile="SourceDir\MyApp.EXE" />

Always use small .ICO files.
