I am sorry but I just do get this new WiX UI, why is this an improvement? I see
a complicated UI that doesn't tell me anything. I get an "Updating" box that
never stops spinning - what does that mean? If I click "Install" what will
happen? What are all these weird new buttons? I know installers but even I am
confused how to install WiX.
Other than the core WiX features that make creating Windows Installers easy,
one of the best features of WiX since v2 has been a good UI. My end users
understood it. I understood it. But this doesn't seem to be a step forward. I
know I can write own but I don't want too and in the past WiX has given me a
good UI that I can be proud of. I was really looking forward to burn but this
has really disappointed me (I know this isn't the core of what burn is about).
I appreciate this is very Windows 8 but my users won't; many of them are still
using Windows XP.
I do apologise for appearing negative but just thought this worthy of
discussion.
Standing by to be flamed...
