Greetings,

I've done a bit of work on a mod for World of Warcraft and I'd like to set it free, the problem is that I've really got no clue how to package it, create the XML, make it cleanly uninstallable, etc.

Issues I'd like more info on before releasing this:

Admin Configuration - Right now I've got it being configured by editing a file, this is obviously less than ideal.
Packaged for installation/uninstallation - I've been very impressed with the mods I've used in how easy to install, configure, and remove if they don't suit you... I'd like to stick to that.
Best Practices - I did find the developer reference in the manual, and I'll be rehashing a few pieces of code to match the best practices found there, but any further info would be great.

Anyhow, thanks!

I've done a fair bit of searching and still come up empty on this. I did find something that claimed to be an IDE, but I'm quite happy with my editplus environment...

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
