X-Setup Pro SDK

One of the great features X-Setup Pro has to offer is its endless extensibility through plugins. If you know how to twiddle something, but X-Setup Pro does not have built-in support for this, why not create your own plugin?

The X-Setup Pro SDK contains all information you need to create your own plugin or wizard and use it inside X-Setup Pro. It also has a program to check your Wizards for errors and some examples are also in this package.
