APPX Wizards - Tools for Designers and Administrators

The APPX Wizards are unrelated tools for obtaining specific information.

• Environment Variable Wizard. This Wizard will allow you to select Appx environment variable(s), configure the variable parameters, then display the completed variable(s) which may be used in your Appx installation. This Wizard will not actually set the variable in your environment but will help you in building the correct syntax for the instruction which can be copied for implementation.
• Widget File Attribute Wizard. This Wizard will display the WIDGET file field name which corresponds to the GUI label for the selected attribute. You will first select the GUI widget type from the Menu. An image of that widget type will be displayed. Then click on the label of the attribute to see the WIDGET file field(s) which corresponds to that attribute.
• Release Note Viewer. This is a tool for searching and displaying release notes for all the Appx versions available for download.
