Originally wanted to install the visual editor, but the information provided by the URL has been unable to use, search some posts on the Internet, is not very useful. But it is not without harvest, inadvertently saw someone said that visual editor has stopped maintenance, rather than using windowbuilder!

So I searched the information about Windowbuilder,
