Re: [WiX-users] Custom Error text - with new line

It is possible to use new line character sequence in MSI!!! My solution: Use Immediate CA (C++ Dll) to fill the public property (e.g. CRLF) with \r\n and then use the [CRLF] in the Error table. It works perfect. Hope that it will help somebody. Stefan Rob Hamflett wrote: You can't force
