packages about wixsharp HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi, creating a packages folder is the base concept behind nuget and they will be created by each project/solution where nuget packages are referenced. The resulting folders size is round about 2.5 MB (without WixSharp.wix.bin). IMHO this is not too much to worry about.

If you really want to avoid this, then you need to run the resulting exe with something like following parameter (substitute <ProjectName>) and a proper working directory:
WixSharpSetup.exe "/MSBUILD:<ProjectName>"
This is what is defined in WixSharp.targets file in the nuget package WixSharp which is installed by Install-Package WixSharp

The larger package is the afore mentioned WixSharp.wix.bin (ca. 21 MB). For this you can create an environment variable named WIXSHARP_WIXDIR or WIX to point to the folder either with WixSharp.wix.bin binaries or the latest official (corresponding) binaries from wixtoolset
