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

    The \c 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.

    \section1 General Properties


    \section2 debugInformation

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{bool}
    \row    \li \b{Default:}         \li \c{qbs.debugInformation}
    \endtable

    Generate debug information. See \c{qbs.debugInformation}.

    \section2 defines

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{stringList}
    \row    \li \b{Default:}         \li \c{undefined}
    \endtable

    List of preprocessor macros that get passed to the compiler.
    To set macro values use the following syntax:
    \code
    cpp.defines: ["USE_COLORS=1", 'COLOR_STR="blanched almond"']
    \endcode

    \section2 enableQbsDefines

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{bool}
    \row    \li \b{Default:}         \li \c{true}
    \endtable

    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.

    \section2 visualStudioCompatibility

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{bool}
    \row    \li \b{Default:}         \li \c{true}
    \endtable

    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.

    \section2 includePaths

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{pathList}
    \row    \li \b{Default:}         \li \c{undefined}
    \endtable

    List of include paths. Relative paths are considered to be relative to the .qbs product file
    they are used in.

    \section2 treatWarningsAsErrors

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{bool}
    \row    \li \b{Default:}         \li \c{false}
    \endtable

    Warnings will be handled as errors and cause the build to fail.

    \section2 warningLevel

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{string}
    \row    \li \b{Allowed Values:}  \li \c{"none"}, \c{"normal"}, \c{"pedantic"}
    \row    \li \b{Default:}         \li \c{"normal"}
    \endtable

    Severity of warnings to emit. The higher the level, the more warnings will be shown.

    \section2 verboseOutput

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{bool}
    \row    \li \b{Default:}         \li \c{false}
    \endtable

    Whether to display verbose output from the compiler and linker.

    \section2 compilerFlags

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{stringList}
    \row    \li \b{Default:}         \li undefined
    \endtable

    Additional flags for the Candle compiler.

    \section2 linkerFlags

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{stringList}
    \row    \li \b{Default:}         \li undefined
    \endtable

    Additional flags for the Light linker.

    \section2 cultures

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{stringList}
    \row    \li \b{Default:}         \li undefined
    \endtable

    List of localizations to include in the MSI. Use \c{undefined} to include all localizations.

    \section2 extensions

    \table
    \row    \li \b{Type:}            \li \c{stringList}
    \row    \li \b{Default:}         \li \c{["WixBalExtension"]} if the product type is an EXE setup
                                         application, otherwise \c{undefined}.
    \row    \li \b{Possible Values:} \li \c{"WixBalExtension"},
                                         \c{"WixComPlusExtension"},

                                         \c{"WixGamingExtension"},
                                         \c{"WixIisExtension"},
                                         \c{"WixMsmqExtension"},
