Jasper Keuper is an independent developer who maintains WixEdit, a specialized editor that simplifies the creation and maintenance of Windows Installer XML (WiX) source files used to compile MSI and MSM installation packages. Targeted at setup authors, release engineers, and DevOps teams, WixEdit provides a visual alternative to hand-coding WiX markup by offering syntax highlighting, IntelliSense-style completion, and a form-based interface for tables, dialogs, and media elements. The utility is particularly useful for organizations that need repeatable, version-controlled installers for desktop applications, system drivers, or server components, yet want to avoid the learning curve of raw WiX authoring. Typical workflows involve importing existing .wixproj or .wxs files, adjusting component hierarchies, patching upgrade logic, and validating against the Windows Installer SDK before building the final package. Because the editor preserves the underlying XML, projects remain fully compatible with command-line toolchains such as MSBuild, Azure Pipelines, or GitHub Actions. WixEdit is available for free on get.nero.com, where it is delivered through trusted Windows package sources like winget, always installs the latest release, and can be pulled alongside other utilities in a single batch operation.
