I was under the impression that while it is only permitted to *trigger* one "NewDialog" operation, it is permitted to include definitions for several trigger operations as long as the conditions under which the separate dialogs are shown are mutually exclusive.
I agree however that is not what the documentation (currently at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368037.aspx) appears to suggest. One thing I would make sure of... presumably the default state for &MyFeature will be set during CostFinalize (which I believe should have occurred before the UI is shown). I have a horrible sneaking suspicion that any modifications the user makes to the feature installation state will not be stored until the next dialog is triggered... which means that at the time you are performing the test (still inside the CustomizeDlg) the value for &MyFeature will not yet have been modified. (A look at the verbose log may confirm this). In the sample from the tutorial, the property being tested was already set before entering the CustomizeDlg, and is not modified by the CustomizeDlg. As a result, it operates correctly. Of course, this is just a hypothesis. Hopefully someone with more Microsoft Installer knowledge will be able to confirm if I am barking up the wrong tree!

Because its buggy? I didn't write that sample code, so I can't tell you why it is the way it is. However, if you look at the Windows Installer documentation, you will the restriction of a single NewDialog control event on any given control. If you don't observe the restriction, sometimes it works. But its only working by accident, not by design. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html> Legalize Adulthood! <http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
