Re: [WiX-users] Custom action type 19 displays message over the "Welcome" dialog

You're talking about the launch condition (the one with a condition of NOT NEWERVERSIONDETECTED), right? That isn't a type 19 custom action. LaunchConditions by default are sequenced at 100. WelcomeDlg defaults to being sequenced at 1298 (IIRC). There are no type 19 custom actions in the snippets

You have to use a DLL action to call the exe action either way. The difference is whether you create a property or call MsiSetComponentState after the exe returns. -Original Message- From: David Battey [mailto:dbat...@phoenixcon.com] Sent: Friday, October 09, 2009 1:03 PM To: wix-users@li

It is eminently possible to re-code the ExitDialog in WIXUIExtension so you can specify a bitmap for only its use rather than it always using the one defined in the WiXVariable "WixUIBannerBmp".

With DoAction custom actions in the UI sequence, there doesnt seem to be any MSI specific way so just use MessageBox(). To get the parent window for the message box, so that it appears on top of your dialog, see http://www.mail-archive.com/wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00415.htm l -Origi
