Hi All,

Is it valid to hold a RTF string in a Property, like this:

<Property Id="CONFIRMINSTALLRTF" 
Value="{\rtf1\ansi\deff0{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil\fcharset0 MS Sans 
Serif;}}\viewkind4\uc1\pard\lang1033\f0\fs17 Some text\par }" />

and then use this property in a ScrollableText control of a dialog:

<Control Id="SummaryText" Type="ScrollableText" X="20" Y="80" Width="330" 
Height="100" Sunken="no" TabSkip="yes">
<Text>[CONFIRMINSTALLRTF]</Text>
</Control>

If so, I'm doing something wrong, as the example text does not appear in the 
dialog :(

I'm actually trying to create a summary dialog at the end of the gui sequence, 
to confirm to the user what will be installed. I want to present some free-form 
text, so it seems that using a ScrollableText control is a better idea than, 
say, a bunch of Text controls.

I've seen a post showing how a Custom Action can insert RTF text into a MSI db 
Control record, so I was hoping I could do the same with a Property, ie 
MsiSetProperty. As with most of what I've gleaned about MSI/Wix, it's all a 
hideously painful struggle to make any progress, and so once again, my 
dejection has got the better of me and I eagerly look for pointers/assistance 
from the WWW (World Wide Wix) community. Many thanks for your time and 
attention.

Yours truly,
Andrew Kendall
