Summary0014431: WiX: use Visual Studio integration
DescriptionThe WiX toolset integrates itself with Visual Studio and it would be nice if CMake/CPack would create the PACKAGE target as a .wixproj (instead of the generic VS project) when using the WIX generator.

Can you elaborate your use case for this feature and why it would be useful?

I think to actually implement this feature:
- WIX would have to be the only active generator
- CMake would have to generate the .wixproj
- .wixproj would only work with non-express versions of Visual Studio(?)
- CPack itself would have to be disabled or extended in a way that would allow it to run msbuild for the .wixproj

Users could see WIX generator generated source files but they would not be allowed to modify them (since they would get regenerated every time cmake reruns).

There hasn't been any feedback on the issue since it was created so I am resolving it for now. Feel free to reopen it or create a new issue if you can come up with a more concrete proposal.
