That's what I did, but there are some restrictions on where user can place
shortcuts.
I used custom action to validate path, but it is still not ideal solution.
It looks like a such common

Quite. I wrote one a while back, something like this...
Dialog Id=ShortcutsDlg Width=376 Height=266
Title=$(loc.DIALOG_GENERIC_Title) NoMinimize=yes
Control Id=BannerBitmap Type=Bitmap X=0 Y=0 Width=376
Height=45 TabSkip=no Text=DlgBanner /
Control Id=Title Type=Text X=15 Y=6
While the dialog works, I'd much prefer some kind of list box of the
ProgramMenu rather than a browse control that enables users to dump their
shortcuts in some inappropriate locations... actually, anyone want to
suggest how to go about such an improvement to the above code?
Thanks,
Gareth

I ended up doing appriximately the same. I modified slightly BrowseDlg with
custom action written in C,
to validate selected shortcuts localtion. But still, it does not look good
enough for production software.
I saw Windows Installer setups where it was done quite nicely. I just wonder
how?

Because you're the first to ask. So it's not that common at all.

Is there a discussion or an article on what approach to take to develop
installer GUI.
If I'm not mistaken, I can see three ways of doing this:
1. Write Win32 application that will display all dialogs and collect all the
configuration data , and then call MSI passing this configuration.
2. It
Hello,
I'm using WiX 3. My installation creates shortcuts in the Program Menu
folder.
Now I need to add a dialog that will let user to change default location
of the shortcuts in the Program Menu folder.
It seems there is no WiX dialog to do this.
I'd appreciate if you could point to such

When using Feature Selection dialog I can subscribe to SelectionSize

There's no other control that publishes a feature size event

There is none, but you don't need C++ for this -- just another dialog
like InstallDirDlg that spawns BrowseDlg.
