Hi Richard, Thanks for response. Actually I want to select one config file at run time and user will give their own settings in config file. Can you give me any custom actions for file browse dialog.

On button click , Dialog will invoke and will select a particular file from any directory. What particular file are you looking for? Is it an operating system file? Is it a file from another installed application? Is it a file whose location is stored in the registry? Is it a file whose name is known, but you just need to search the hard drive for it? Windows Installer provides mechanisms to search for files and locate them automatically, setting a property to the full path of the file if it is found. It is better to locate the file automatically (and Windows Installer provides several built-in mechanisms to do this, so you usually don't need a custom action) than to prompt the user for it. If, for some reason we haven't yet determined, that you do need to prompt the user to browse for a file, you'll probably need a custom action to do that. Custom actions are error prone, even with WiX. So its really preferable to see if you can exploit the existing mechanisms in Windows Installer to locate the file. -- "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 the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
