"ScrollableText Control This control displays a long string of text that cannot fit entirely on the page. A common use for this control is displaying the license agreement. Note that the string of text used with this control cannot contain an embedded property. To display text with embedded properties use instead the Text Control."

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.
