Today was the last WiX Online Meeting...to be held via Skype, that is. Microsoft is encouraging everyone to switch to Teams so Rob is investigating whether we can use Teams to hold future WiX Online Meetings so everyone can participate, and you can hear Sean and me, and not just Rob.

WiX Online Meeting #168 Highlights

Celebrate the 15th Anniversary of the WiX Toolset
Friday, April 5, 2019
Today marks the 15th Anniversary of the WiX Toolset's release as Open Source.

In addition, there are countless Open Source projects that have MSI-based installation packages thanks to WiX. We are proud of the work we've done with WiX over the years, but the future excites us even more.
