I found the answer
<http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368037.aspx>as to why I
was experiencing this behavior:
"The installer starts each event in the order specified in the Ordering
column. For example, a push button control can publish events to initiate a
transition to another dialog box, exit the dialog box sequence, and begin
file installation. The exception is that each control can publish a (sic)
most one NewDialog
<http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370533.aspx>or one
SpawnDialog <http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa371863.aspx> event.
If multiple NewDialog and SpawnDialog control events are selected for the
same control, only the event with the largest value in the Ordering column
gets published when the control is activated."
Here's my theory...I *think* that the reason that this works when I do not
specify the "Order" attributes are because they get a value of "1", and the
installer probably grabs it out of the ControlEvent table the order that I
specified in my WiX source file. So, I think that since I have these
multiple "Next" handlers that both call NewDialog depending on the
condition, I should specify the "Order" attribute, but instead of leaving
the "1" as the condition for my second handler, I should specify the
opposite case. So much for brevity, huh? Just thought I'd share this with
everyone else. Please correct my if my assumptions are incorrect. Thanks
for all the help, Bob!
