A simple way to create a WIXPROJ file is to type, "msbuild projectfile.wixproj" at the command line (where "projectfile" is the name of the project file). If WiX has been installed, Visual Studio will create a standard msbuild project file. WIXPROJ files can also be created and edited using a text editor.

NOTE: Every WIXPROJ file is accompanied by at least one .WXS file.
