If you dislike the CustomerInformation dialog, then turn it off. You can
do it with two clicks:
Step 1: Click the Project Assistant Tab
Step 2: Click No on "Do you want to prompt users to enter their Company

Personally I think installers should act like the VS2011 one or Burn UI:
- First dialog for targetdir + license agreement accept -> then enable
install button
- Second installing and then either switch to success / failure on
second dialog or show a third one with success / failure.

You may need to look at the log more carefully. If the uninstall of the older
version failed it will roll back and reinstall, and that will leave you with
both products installed. That's the issue with RemoveExistingProducts -after-
InstallFinalize where it's outside the transacted part of the i
I'm trying to properly implement an upgrade (minor version number change
which should trigger a replace).
However, Windows Installer leaves older versions installed without touching
them (Leaves the program files behind and the Uninstall Programs reg entry).
I'm using the same upgradecode for all

I don't think you can have the Windows Installer engine report the exit code
before it exits back to custom actions in a MSI package before the installation
completes.
If you are trying to get information after the installation completes and you
have PowerShell v2 available to you then you coul
You could write something to monitor or read the Application Event log. There
are MsiInstaller entries created when a product is installed (and I think one
for failure too). They seem to be event ID 1033, and there's a ProductCode,
result and ProductName in the entry.

Out of interest do people think there is a demand for wizard style install?
Personally I still think they are correct approach and I haven't seen a good
alternative yet.

I was considering going the same route, but unfortunately C++ isn't my cup of

Would it be possible to beg you for the binary of setup.exe?

Why not use a launch Condition ? The functionality is built into Windows
Installer and will respect the UI level set by the user. If testing the
prerequisite is too complicated to be handled with regSearch/fileSearch/etc,
keep the custom action but have it set a property based on the results. Test
