I'm very new to using Wix, so my approach may not be the best. From my
understanding thus far, if I want to get values from the user like username,
password, and test a connection to a database I should perform those actions
within the InstallUISequence. With that said, I have a Dialog I created th

Or maybe "unchanged" might mean recompiled but no code or versioning was
changed? I've seen that kind of thing produce false positives in similar byte
comparison tools, but I don't recall the details.

Hmm... I'm not familiar enough with UIs to know what the ramifications are in
that case.
But if you only call the "CA_testSqlConnection" custom action in the
InstallUISequence then the SQLCONNECTION property will never be set when you
perform a silent install... Perhaps that doesn't matter, per

I have the Wix book and it showed ExecuteAction as the last action in

I am curious to understand why you were getting unchanged files in your
