Hi!

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!

Not today no. They aren't that hard to write though.

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.
