Wix Toolset Custom UI viewer


I'm building an MSI with Wix (not my first) but now I'm exploring custom UI's.

What I need to know is whether there is a UI viewer to save me building then running the MSI just to check the look. Im currently using VS2012 with the WixToolset plugin.

Thanks

Chris


Solution

  • You don't have to install the MSI to see the dialogs. The SuperOrca MSI editor will do it. It's not as good, obviously, because it can't know the behavior of a running dialog, but you can see what it looks like. It's in Tools→Dialog Preview. You still have to build the MSI of course.
