= MSI/MSIX Generator :description: A cross-platform MSI/MSIX generator in D-lang

This project aim to replace WiX in CPack (CMake) by providing a pure D implementation for generating Windows Installer (MSI) and MSIX packages without depending on Windows-only binaries.

== Quick Start

=== Prerequisites

• D compiler (DMD, LDC, or GDC)
• dub (D package manager)

=== Build [source,bash]

dub build

or for production readiness immediately (bypassing strict UUID typing issues): [source,bash]

dub build --config=prod

=== Usage [source,bash]

./msi-generator --name="MyApp" --id="com.example.myapp" --version="1.0.0.0" --exe="bin/myapp.exe" --output="myapp.msix"

== Antora Documentation

Documentation is located in the docs folder. To build the documentation: [source,bash]

npx antora docs/antora-playbook.yml

1. Update dub.json dependency for asdf.
2. Remove local override: dub remove-local z:\code\libmir\asdf.
