In depth
A closer look at Portable WixEdit
Made as the portable edition of WixEdit, this is a practical text editor for modifying the XML source code for Windows installer files (MSI). It can be used by anyone curious enough to study this information and generate their own MSI and MSM setup packages. It requires the Windows Installer XML Compiler. Since installation is not required, you can save the program files to any location on the HDD and just click the EXE item to launch WixEdit. There is also the option to copy it to a USB flash disk and run it directly on any PC with Windows Installer XML Compiler set up. More importantly, the utility does not add new entries to the Windows registry or create extra files on the HDD without your consent, so no traces are left behind after removing it.
