hi all,

i am writing a wix install which will register a service. i have used wix for a 
while but never had to register a service with it. I have the ServiceInstall 
element all setup and am using public properties for the user name and 
password. I would like to put a GUI on top of this so the user can enter this 
information in. I have read a few threads that mention people having written 
custom dialogs for this. I was wondering if there are any publicly available 
(it seems like such a common thing to do)

i am also trying to write a custom dialog that uses a control of type combo 
box. i would like the user to select something along the lines of "QA" or 
"Production" and have a public property set to a value that is different than 
what the user chose. I tried this thinking it would work:

< Control   Id = " Config "   Type = " ComboBox "   X = " 20 "   Y = " 75 "   
Width = " 150 "   Height = " 18 "   Property = " SERVICECONFIG "   Text = " 
[SERVICECONFIG] "     ComboList = " yes " >

< ComboBox   Property = " SERVICECONFIG "   xmlns = " 
http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2003/01/wi " >

< ListItem   Text = " production "   Value = " production.config "  />

< ListItem   Text = "qa "   Value = " qa.config "  /> 

</ ComboBox >

</ Control > 
but when i tested it and selected "production" the value put in the edit field 
of the drop down said production.config :P. not really what i was hoping for. 
is there a good link i can read about how to get comboboxes setup in msi, i 
have read the wix docs and msi docs and am still missing something :(

thanks,

steve
