You can write the UI in a DLL custom action instead, and have it set properties. Forewarned: You'll run into complications because the "previous" dialog will be visible and "running" while your CA is running. At a certain point, you might find it easier to write an external UI handler and handle the whole UI in custom code. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
