  1. I tried to look at that WPF sample but the XAML file is missing from the relaease. I then tried to browse CVSWeb and none of the files are in the /wix/src/DTF/Samples/EmbeddedUI area.

  2. Sorry if its a dumb question, but does this mean we can start to create WPF screens for our installers?

  3. Yes, it’s possible to create installer UI with WPF but it does require you to create an external UI handler to do so.

  4. I’m having a problem accessing this release. I get an error from Sourceforge – looks like the files aren’t there.

  5. The problem with access is that it is build 4415 not 4515 as link says
