-WiX installer source files
-==========================
-
-The files in this folder are used by the thg-winbuild [1] package
-building architecture to create a Mercurial MSI installer.   These files
-are versioned within the Mercurial source tree because the WXS files
-must kept up to date with distribution changes within their branch.  In
-other words, the default branch WXS files are expected to diverge from
-the stable branch WXS files.  Storing them within the same repository is
-the only sane way to keep the source tree and the installer in sync.
-
-The MSI installer builder uses only the mercurial.ini file from the
-contrib/win32 folder, the contents of which have been historically used
-to create an InnoSetup based installer.  The rest of the files there are
-ignored.
-
-The MSI packages built by thg-winbuild require elevated (admin)
-privileges to be installed due to the installation of MSVC CRT libraries
-under the C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS folder.  Thus the InnoSetup installers may
-still be useful to some users.
-
-To build your own MSI packages, clone the thg-winbuild [1] repository
-and follow the README.txt [2] instructions closely.  There are fewer
-prerequisites for a WiX [3] installer than an InnoSetup installer, but
-they are more specific.
