A full two years after its release, WiXAware is still the industry's only visual IDE for Windows Installer XML (WiX) featuring automatic XML code generation, with two way integrated Design and XML editors for the ultimate flexibility and ease of use. While formerly industry leading brands like InstallShield still lack a tool targeting the WiX toolkit, WiXAware's version 2.0 is officially launching today! Here's a brief look into some of the new features in this grounbreaking release:

Fragment, Include, and Multiple File Support: You asked for it, we delivered! Open and edit WiX projects comprised of multiple source files inside the WiXAware IDE. Manage large, complex WiX projects with ease. Team development has never been easier with WiX.

MSBuild Support: Delivering on another popular request, WiXAware 2.0 automatically creates .wixproj files so you can integrate your installer right into your build cycle.

Tallow Functionality: Harvest resources into fragments through the incorporation of new Tallow functionality right inside the WiXAware 2.0 IDE.

Visual Dialog Editor: Want to create and update dialogs visually? Use WiXAware's leading dialog designer, which takes the rocket science out of building WiX source code to handle dialog interactions. Drag and drop and visually hook up controls, properties, and events.

Integrated Design/XML Views: Switching back and forth between the design views and XML code works exactly as it should - seamlessly updating the other view in the background. WiXAware's integrated XML editor recognizes WiX language elements and suggests tags, auto-completes fields, making work on XML files a breeze. No more need to memorize the schema!

The same technology that Microsoft teams internally use to build products like Office, Visual Studio, and Live Messenger is now at your disposal with WiXAware 2.0:
