WiX Standard Dialogues


Does anyone know if there are any WiX standard UI dialouges out there that you can use to integrate into your own WiX msi package?

For example:

  • Editing Connection Strings to database
  • Editing paths to log files in web.config/app.config
  • Setting up users for a Windows Service
  • Setting up WCF Endpoint addresses and other parameters

This would be very helpful!


Solution

  • I've haven't seen any UI dialog package either.

    WixEdit has a dialog editor which I've heard is pretty useful, but I haven't used.
    War Setup is a pretty good utility. It's been about a year since I've used it, so I don't remember if it has a dialog editor or not.

    Edit: I couldn't think of the one I really loved, but I just found it: WixAware. It has probably the best dialog editor. The only thing is that it's trialware and the full version is $800.
