[FIXED] How can I build a Wix project on a remote build server?

Issue

I have a Wix installer project for my WPF application, and I am trying to integrate this project into my CI/CD pipeline (Github Actions). Currently, I don't know how to build this project on the build server. The Wix documentation says that I could just check-in the Wix tooling with the actual source code, but this seems like a bad idea. What is the most recommended way of building WiX projects on Github Actions or more generally on a remote build sever?

Solution

GitHub Actions Windows environment already has WiX installed along with VS.

So to build your WiX projects (*.wixproj), just use the typical MSBuild command msbuild A.wixproj.
