Is WiX Toolset Compatible with Windows 10

We are going to be rolling out Win10 machines in the near future, so in preparation I am researching potential compatibility issues. I use WiX as my installation framework, hence the question. Is WiX fully compatible with VS2013 and VS2017 on the Win10 platform?

I've done Win 3.11 -> NT -> 2000 -> XP -> 7 -> 10 migrations and the problems are almost always application related not installer related. (Unless someone writes a garbage install.)

WiX 3.11 has no problems with Windows 10. We currently have around 120,000 windows 10 devices deployed and I believe 1 kiosk type role that is still on Windows 7. A bunch of corp desktops are still on Windows 7 still but those are just the stragglers.

Yes, it is totally compatible on Win10 platform. I have been using Wix installer (v3.11) on VS2015 for a year. All you need to do is -> download and install the proper extension for your Visual Studio version from the following URL: http://wixtoolset.org/releases/. Then, download and install the version you want (stable ones are v3.11 and v3.10). That's it!
