The most difficult issue my students have with WPS involves Custom Actions. I think it would be beneficial for Wise to include a bunch of Wizards in the product to help those new to Application Packaging add the CAs they need.
PS; some dual monitor support for WPS could be really good.
PPS: I think you need to upgrade WPS a bit more often.

Agreed

I've had and written some interesting CA requests over time. While I don't know what CustomActions could be handy by default, I know that I write a lot myself in VBScript and sometimes session variables and/or execution sequence/ordering can catch me out. What would be great is, if in addition to the WiseScript windows and CustomAction areas, you could have wizards for simple tasks, and perhaps a VBScript/JScript testing environment where you can reference session variables to create/test CustomActions. If there was a wizard that allowed me to view session information/variables from a drop-down and and build logic, I would definately use that feature.
