Excellent!

As you probably know, right now we produce Windows executables and
installers on Linux using openvpn-build:

<https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn-build>

It seems that WiX which you mention would probably be our tool of
choice, given it is open source (MS-RL):

<https://github.com/wixtoolset/wix3>
<https://opensource.org/licenses/MS-RL>

Do you know if WiX runs in Mono? That would allow us to produce
installers directly from openvpn-build without having to have a separate
Windows packaging computer in the build chain.
