Yes, the topic is in the right place.  Thanks.

Style comments:

- Please prefix the commit message with "CPackWiX: "
- Please avoid lines longer than 79 characters in C++ sources

You can amend the commit to resolve these and force-push the
replacement topic on the stage.

I'm not familiar with WiX or the requirements of these ids
so I'll defer to the CPack WiX maintainer (you) on technical
correctness.

Once the above style fixes have been pushed to the stage,
please proceed with the merge to 'next' for testing.

Thanks,
