How to do I get WizEdit 2.2

(and Wiz1Edit ... it's a package deal)

Nov, 2007: After 9 long years, sales of my editors have slowed to a trickle and seemingly dried up. I have toyed with the idea of giving them away long enough ... it is time. Should people find them useful and want to kick in a few bucks to help pay for the web site I maintain, well that would be great. Otherwise, enjoy!
To download a free copy, use these links:

WizEdit - Editor for Wizardry® 7 (works on Windows XP and older)
WizEdit - Zip package for 64 Bit (for Windows 7 and newer)
Wiz1Edit - Editor for Wizardry® 1

and use the following registration information:

Registered Name: freebie
Registered Key:   44322



And just in time for WizEdit's 20th anniversary .... it now works on Windows 7 (You can thank Greg Campbell - but sorry, I have found no fix for Windwos 8 or 10).
for prodding me into really figuring out what was failing in our 32 and 64-bit worlds. You can use the .zip packadge (over there on the
left) and make a security change on your system, to get WizEdit© working on newer systems. Just unzip everything to a folder on your
C: drive, then double-click the wizedit-registry-settings file (and follow the prompts to allow it to run and update the registry). This
will add the necessary registry settings that the old install program failed to do, in today's more security-conscious Windows world.

The steps above allow WizEdit© to "run". You can open up saved games, edit items, save changes ... but that is it. Other options fail
with a Permission denied error and require one more tweak, to let WizEdit© run in a less secure mode.
Follow the steps below to deal with that ...
  1. Click the Windows Start button
  2. In the search bar, type: UAC
    This should find as the #1 choice: Change User Account Control Settings
    Click that
  3. In the User Account Control Settings pop-up window, drag the bar down to the bottom setting (Never Notify)
  4. Click OK, then reboot for this to take effect
  5. After your system reboots, go have your fun in WizEdit© ... then ...
  6. Go back and put your security settings to their previous value ... and REBOOT again (I typically forget that step)


Trusting this software and making security changes to your PC are not things I take lightly and really require a level of trust. I've been at this 20 years now with never a dissatisfied customer, so you can trust me a bit :-)
