Now that I think a bit more about it, there was a thread about the wixlib format not being properly public and you weren't supposed to rely on it staying the same, so beware any tool you may write might be abruptly rendered invalid.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Is there a WiXlib viewer/decompiler? I don't think there's any such tool in the Wix distribution. You can link it into a quick stub MSI and do an admin installation. Alternatively cut out the XML and write a simple-ish XSLT to display the information you're interested in. I'm sure Rob would be happy if you wrote one and contributed it /smile. -----Original Message----- From: Roy Chastain [mailto:r...@roychastain.org] Sent: 29 July 2011 14:21 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Is there a WiXlib viewer/decompiler? Did I miss the info in the documentation about there being any program that could view/list/extract the contents of a WiXlib? In particular exactly what files (timestamp etc) that are bound into it. I realize that a lot of the file is just XML, but looking at the information in VS or NotePad is somewhat challenging. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Roy Chastain ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Got Input?
