Hi,
I need to prompt the user for the location of a file before installing my
software.
I'm disappointed that I couldn't find an example of this ANYWHERE. There
are lots of discussions about using custom browse dialog, but no examples.
If I figure this out, I will publish an example.
I give the user the file to put on their system (anywhere), and at the start
of setup, I need to parse that file using a CA in a DLL. It is a license
file, and I'll use some info in there to determine some features to install.
So after the LicenseAccept dialog, I have a new dialog ("PreInstallDlg.wxs")
which has a "browse" button on it to fire up my copy of the browseDlg.wxs
code ("MTBrowselDlg.wxs"). The browse control looks like this:
<Control Id="LicenseFile" Type="PushButton" X="20" Y="120" Width="56"
Height="17" Text="Browse" />
In my copy of the WixUI_InstallDir code, I have the following code:
<Publish Dialog="MTPreInstallDlg" Control="LicenseFile"
Property="_BrowseProperty" Value="[LICENSE_FILE]" Order="1">1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="MTPreInstallDlg" Control="LicenseFile" Event="SpawnDialog"
Value="MTBrowseDlg" Order="2">1</Publish>
My MTBrowseDlg looks like this:
<Fragment>
<UI>
<Property Id="_BrowseProperty" Value="LICENSE_FILE" />
<Dialog Id="MTBrowseDlg" Width="370" Height="270"
Title="!(loc.BrowseDlg_Title)">
<Control Id="PathEdit" Type="PathEdit" X="25" Y="202" Width="320"
Height="18" Property="_BrowseProperty" Indirect="yes" />
*** blah blah - just like the original dialog ***
</Dialog>
</UI>
</Fragment>
This compiles ok, but when I run it, I get this error:
Action 14:16:01: MTPreInstallDlg. Dialog created
MSI (c) (A4:2C) [14:16:04:898]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Deleting _BrowseProperty
property. Its current value is 'LICENSE_FILE'.

How can I fix this error?
Thanks
