Create a installer for web application in c# using Wix

Question

I have installed the Wix from Wix.codeplex and i created a setup file successfully for windows application and its works well.

Now i have a web app and i want to create a installer for my web app (service installer),i tried with creating a setup file by building the Wix-setup project after adding the reference of the web app projects/Files in the Wix project,but it didn't workout, is there any good resource i can follow or any help greatly appreciate!

Did you try a web search for "wix tutorial" or something similar? Was there anything wrong with the results? — Twon-ha, Nov 05 '15 at 14:29
