Here's a wixproject (http://wixtoolset.org/) to make an installer for Spriggit CLI + UI. It also adds Spriggit.CLI.exe to %PATH%. It will build a .msi file!

Thanks for all the hard work! Still a bit crazy that it's so hard to make an installer, haha. You'd think microsoft would just have a built in nice and easy already.

I'm currently getting some errors when i try to build with Rider:

And Visual Studio just chokes on the new project entirely. Is there some plugin I need to install to get it to be happy?

I should have anticipated this, my bad. I wrote it with the intention of it relying on the build pipeline and doing publishes of the CLI and UI. By default the builds for those projects don't output to those directories. I assume MSBuild does something different.

I'll see if I can make it pull from either the default bin directory OR publish.
