Latest version

This version of WixEdit contains a new wizard to help you create new msi files from scratch. The wizard helps you to create a working installer with files and functionality like shortcuts, virtual directories, user interface and more in a few clicks! Please let me know what templates you wish to see in the wizard, or better provide small samples of which templates can be made!

Goals

The main goal is to help create MSI installers using the WiX toolset. This project helps to edit WiX source files, and gives you a better overview over your installer. It will still be necessary to have some knowledge about the WiX toolset, but the program helps to display the files in a structured manner and maintain an better overview while navigating through the wxs file. But for simple installations, the wizard will guide you till a working installation.
