In GetExistingFilesDlg the user is prompted for a path. This value will be stored in the property MYFOLDER. When they click next, this will call a custom action called checkFiles. This will have to be a DLL custom action which you need to write. It will need to get the MYFOLDER property, look for the files, and then write back a property called FILES_EXIST with "yes" if they exist, and something else if they don't. You need to set [EMAIL PROTECTED] to 'check' or 'ignore' because you need the action to finish before the installer continues. The other actions attached to the 'Next' button are based on the value of FILES_EXIST which you've just written. The installation will either continue, or the user will get a pop-up dialog. This is FilesAbsentDlg. The user is told the files are not there, and clicks OK to go back to GetExistingFilesDlg.
The mailing list appears to be banning zip files, so I've renamed the extension to .piz Rob P.S. I've not attached the binary files for the background images. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
I'm working on an installer that depends upon files that the user has received prior to performing the installation. Our current installer (not windows installer based) prompts the user to browse for the location of the files... I'm trying to replicate this, but I'm not exactly sure how to go about it. On one hand I think I might need a custom action, on the other hand, that functionality is already part of WiX (i.e. using ConfigurableDirectory in a Feature) I'm not sure if it's accessible in the context I'd like, a separate step in the install sequence. Can anyone offer a suggestion on the correct course of action? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
