Wix Toolset Custom UI viewer

Question

I'm building an MSI with Wix (not my first) but now I'm exploring custom UI's.

What I need to know is whether there is a UI viewer to save me building then running the MSI just to check the look. Im currently using VS2012 with the WixToolset plugin.

Thanks

Chris

You don't have to install the MSI to see the dialogs. The SuperOrca MSI editor will do it. It's not as good, obviously, because it can't know the behavior of a running dialog, but you can see what it looks like. It's in Tools→Dialog Preview. You still have to build the MSI of course.
