Not a question. If you don't know something, read the documentation.

My advice would be: certainly use WiX and stop wining that you don't know how to create setup with it. What do you think the documentation is for? Besides, you can find nearly everything on the Web, often in already existing Questions & Answers. And you did not ask a single question yourself. If you do, we will gladly try to help you.

All you really need right now is this: Microsoft Q209354.
