A tool that makes using Windows Installer XML (WiX) much easier. See the first of the three part blog entries on why PARAFFIN is useful.

1.01 - Minor bug fix in Id naming code
1.02 - Thanks to Darren Stone for suggestions and bug fixes!
 - Added -Win64 switch, which adds Win64="yes" to all components.
 - Updated the Id naming to keep all values in the range [0-9a-zA-Z_] to avoid any naming problems. WiX is not consistent on exactly what characters can be in the Id attribute.
 - When updating, I was previously only relying on the Directory and File elements Name attribute to find those elements. I mistakenly thought the short file/directory name was guarenteed to be unique. I fixed this bug by updating the Directory element searching to look for either the matching Name attribute or LongName attribute depending if the long name is different than the short name. For File elements, I look at both the Name and the Source attributes for the exact match.
 - Fixed a bug where I wasn't properly matching directory names when generating the Id attribute.
- Fixed the innocuous bug where I was appending a double slash on an alias if the input directory did not end in a trailing slash.
1.03 - Fixed a problem where I was relying on the short names for files when updating an existing .WXS files. It turns out that the short name is essentially random.
1.04 - Thanks to Matthew Goos, added the -dirref option to allow a custom name for the DirectoryRef node when creating a file.
 - Now the -ext and direXclude command line options can also be specified for updates in order to add additional extensions or directories to ignore when updating a file.
