I am currently reading into building a custom UI using Wix#, but since I have more experience with (WPF) MVVM than with WinForms i was wondering if it was possible to use that instead.

Is it possible?

You can actually use WPF UI with Wix#. See example in wix# repo.

If you want to use WinForms mandatory, you can also try to utilize winforms bindings to write ui-related stuff in a wpf-style. See here about WinFroms bindings. But in my opinion, WinForms bindings is not so good and I personally prefer not to use them in simple UI.

  • thanks a lot for your answer! but I cant run the example because WixSharp.UI.WPF doesn't exist in the nuget package. What do I need to do to access it? Greetings. – Felix t Apr 14 '21 at 07:40
  • Sorry, I was wrong about WPF UI is ready to use. I was sure that I saw corresponding release notes, but really WPF UI support is only in development for now. You can try it by checking out master branch from Wix# repo, but I do not recommend to use it in production until release. Sorry again for my mistake. – Serg Apr 14 '21 at 08:08
