Reviews
Jimco Software Reviews (www.jimcosoftware.com)
In a review of the Wise for Windows Installer 6.1 Professional (WfWI) software, the reviewer gave the documentation a score of 5 out of 5 and wrote the following:
"WFWI's documentation is excellent. Not only does Wise provide comprehensive documentation on WFWI, but they also provide access to documentation on the Windows Installer SDK right within the WFWI interface. No other source of information is necessary."

"Delphi Informant Magazine"
In a review of the Wise for Windows Installer 3.0 software, reviewer Bill Todd wrote this about the documentation:
"The documentation for Wise for Windows Installer 3.0 is extensive and excellent. The product ships with a Getting Started Guide in both hard copy and PDF formats. The guide steps you through installing the product and has chapters that introduce you to Windows Installer and provide a tour of Wise for Windows Installer and the basics of creating setups. In addition, the 544-page Reference Manual is included in PDF format. Coupled with the extensive online help, these manuals should provide answers to all your questions."

The online magazine is no longer available so I could not obtain a better example. The discussion of the documentation is about 3/4 of the way down the page; search for the word documentation to jump to that section.
