For requirement 1, it seems your best bet may be to make a small wizard application that displays the Welcome/Splash screen and the combined license agreement. At the end of the wizard, your MSI is run with MsiInstallProduct(). The MSI would then have the other dialogs such as feature selection tree, installation path, etc.
Maybe using MsiSetExternalUI(), your external UI handler could trap the back button message from the first MSI dialog so that you could show your license dialog again. BTW, does anybody know how things like MS Flight Simulator have such stylized UI in their installer (bitmap buttons, custom constrols, etc)? Is it an external UI or is it a complete UI that runs the MSI in silent mode? > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Magus > Sent: Tuesday, August 15, 2006 2:12 PM > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [WiX-users] My Installer Requirements > > > Ok I've made a a lot of posts in the past, but really most of > my questions > have to do what with what I am required to make the installer do, so > alternatives are not optional.
