Install HeatWave

We’re building our app and its installer in Visual Studio, so we need a Visual Studio extension that knows all about WiX. Luckily, we friendly folks at FireGiant have just the thing: HeatWave.

HeatWave is available from the Visual Studio Marketplace.

Download HeatWave for Visual Studio 2022 and 2026 here.

Double-click the downloaded .vsix file to install HeatWave.

You can also install HeatWave inside Visual Studio by choosing Extensions then Manage Extensions.
