I just started a new job where they use both WiX and InstallShield to create installers. I was busy learning WiX and then had to jump to another project that uses InstallShield, so I googled InstallShield and got to a page on MSDN that says "It replaces Windows Installer technology, which Visual Studio no longer supports". Why does VS not support Windows Installer Technology? Does that mean that eventually I'll have to stop using WiX?
