    \title Module wix
    \since 1.2
    \brief Provides Windows Installer XML Toolset support.

    The \c wix module contains properties and rules for building MSI and
    EXE setup packages with the \l{http://wixtoolset.org}{Windows Installer XML Toolset}.

    This module is available on all platforms.

    \section1 General Properties

    \table
    \header
        \li Property
        \li Type
        \li Since
        \li Default
        \li Description
    \row
        \li debugInformation
        \li \c{bool}
        \li 1.2
        \li \c{qbs.debugInformation}
        \li Generate debug information. See \c{qbs.debugInformation}.
    \row
        \li defines
        \li \c{stringList}
        \li 1.2
        \li \c{undefined}
        \li List of preprocessor macros that get passed to the compiler.
            To set macro values use the following syntax:
            \c{wix.defines: ["USE_COLORS=1", 'COLOR_STR="blanched almond"']}
    \row
        \li enableQbsDefines
        \li \c{bool}
        \li 1.2
        \li \c{true}
        \li Whether to define preprocessor macros corresponding to values from the project and
            product objects. When building a 64-bit package, the preprocessor variable \c{Win64}
            will also be defined.
    \row
        \li visualStudioCompatibility
        \li \c{bool}
        \li 1.2
        \li \c{true}
        \li 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.
    \row
        \li includePaths
        \li \c{pathList}
        \li 1.2
        \li \c{undefined}
        \li List of include paths. Relative paths are considered to be relative to the .qbs product
            file they are used in.
    \row
        \li treatWarningsAsErrors
        \li \c{bool}
        \li 1.2
        \li \c{false}
        \li Warnings will be handled as errors and cause the build to fail.
    \row
        \li warningLevel
        \li \c{string}
        \li 1.2
        \li \c{"normal"}
        \li Severity of warnings to emit. The higher the level, the more warnings will be shown.
            Possible values include: \c{"none"}, \c{"normal"}, \c{"pedantic"}
    \row
        \li verboseOutput
        \li \c{bool}
        \li 1.2
        \li \c{false}
        \li Whether to display verbose output from the compiler and linker.
    \row
        \li compilerFlags
        \li \c{stringList}
        \li 1.2
        \li \c{undefined}
        \li Additional flags for the Candle compiler.
    \row
        \li linkerFlags
        \li \c{stringList}
        \li 1.2
        \li \c{undefined}
        \li Additional flags for the Light linker.
    \row
        \li cultures
        \li \c{stringList}
        \li 1.2
        \li \c{undefined}
        \li List of localizations to include in the MSI.
            Use \c{undefined} to include all localizations.
    \row
        \li extensions
        \li \c{stringList}
        \li 1.2
        \li \c{["WixBalExtension"]} if the product type is an EXE setup application,
            otherwise \c{undefined}.
        \li List of extension assemblies to link into the output.
            Possible values include:
            \c{"WixBalExtension"},
            \c{"WixComPlusExtension"},
            \c{"WixDependencyExtension"},
            \c{"WixDifxAppExtension"},
            \c{"WixDirectXExtension"},
            \c{"WixFirewallExtension"},
            \c{"WixGamingExtension"},
            \c{"WixIisExtension"},
