Summary
In this chapter, we discussed the command line tools Candle, the WiX compiler, and Light, the linker/binder. Although Visual Studio uses them for you, you can call them from the command prompt without using Visual Studio at all.
In the next chapter, we'll switch gears and cover something completely different: how to read and write to the Windows Registry at install time.
