The wix module contains properties and rules for building MSI and EXE setup packages with the Windows Installer XML Toolset.
This module is only available on Windows.
| Type: | bool |
| Default: | qbs.debugInformation |
Generate debug information. See qbs.debugInformation.
| Type: | stringList |
| Default: | undefined |
List of preprocessor macros that get passed to the compiler. To set macro values use the following syntax:
wix.defines: ["USE_COLORS=1", 'COLOR_STR="blanched almond"']
| Type: | bool |
| Default: | true |
Whether to define preprocessor macros corresponding to values from the project and product objects. When building a 64-bit package, the preprocessor variable Win64 will also be defined.
| Type: | bool |
| Default: | true |
Passes most of the same preprocessor macros to the compiler as Visual Studio does. This allows easier authoring WiX files that are compatible with both Qbs and MSBuild.
| Type: | pathList |
| Default: | undefined |
List of include paths. Relative paths are considered to be relative to the .qbs product file they are used in.
| Type: | bool |
| Default: | false |
Warnings will be handled as errors and cause the build to fail.
| Type: | string |
| Allowed Values: | "none", "normal", "pedantic" |
| Default: | "normal" |
Severity of warnings to emit. The higher the level, the more warnings will be shown.
| Type: | bool |
| Default: | false |
Whether to display verbose output from the compiler and linker.
| Type: | stringList |
| Default: | undefined |
Additional flags for the Candle compiler.
| Type: | stringList |
| Default: | undefined |
Additional flags for the Light linker.
| Type: | stringList |
| Default: | undefined |
List of localizations to include in the MSI. Use undefined to include all localizations.
| Type: | stringList |
| Default: | ["WixBalExtension"] if the product type is an EXE setup application, otherwise undefined. |
| Possible Values: | "WixBalExtension", "WixComPlusExtension", "WixDependencyExtension", "WixDifxAppExtension", "WixDirectXExtension", "WixFirewallExtension", "WixGamingExtension", "WixIisExtension", "WixMsmqExtension", "WixNetFxExtension", "WixPSExtension", "WixSqlExtension", "WixTagExtension", "WixUIExtension", "WixUtilExtension", "WixVSExtension", custom assemblies |
List of extension assemblies to link into the output.

| Type: | int |
| Default: | versionParts[1] |
The WiX minor version.
| Type: | list |

The WiX patch level.
| Type: | int |
| Default: | versionParts[3] |
