Introduction
I've been using Wise for Windows Installer (WFWI) for years to distribute my add-ins. I have generally used just the basic functionality, but there are times when I needed to move into the more advanced features. WFWI has always more than met my needs.
Because of my past experience with this product, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to review the latest release, Wise for Windows Installer 6.1 Professional. If you ever have the need to package files that need to be distributed to someone else, you owe it to yourself to check out WFWI.
