Hi there, Although some people already tried to help me, I am still not able to get this working.
I am writing a managed Custom Action and need to be able to show a messagebox that for instance tells the user that a specified password does not match the policies. However, no matter what way I use session.Message, the best I get is a line in the msi.log, but the Windows Installer just does not show anything. I understand that I have to use InstallMessage.User as a flag and - although this is somewhat puzzling - the Record index starts counting from 1 not from 0 (yet the help says at index 0 theres a special format specifier and later passages say that you have to put the format string in the first field... did anyone ever think about putting some examples up there? ;-)) What I need is a working example that does simple nothing else than showing a messagebox to the user (UI sequence of course). If anyone could help me out here that would be really great!! Thanks in advance, Chris. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
