I wrote some VBScript that I call "Files by Feature" that I run against the resultant MSI file. It opens the database and dumps a list of each file that is in each feature to a CSV file that I can then open in Excel. It's basically a manifest of what gets installed. Otherwise, the XML seems fairly self-documenting to me, provided you used Id names that have some relevent meaning. I guess each person could have unique needs, though. Chad

Seeing that WiX projects are just XML files, probably the solution would involve some sort of XSL translation.
