Where do I find Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.dll?

I am trying to write an extension for Wix by subclassing CompilerExtension but I can't locate the dll to reference the Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml namespace. I searched on the web with no luck.

Any ideas where this can be found?

as you know WiX v4-5 doesn't have to be installed on every dev machine and build image like WiX v3. Instead, WiX v4-5 follows the modern .NET model of using NuGet to deliver tools. So where do I find Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml for version 5 ? Here is the official link => https://wixtoolset.org/docs/fivefour/

The type Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.CompilerExtension is in the assembly wix.dll (there is no assembly/DLL named Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.dll). The assembly is located in <wixinstalldir>\bin (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.6\bin\wix.dll).

You might also want to have a look at the WixContrib project at Codeplex.
