You don't need a Custom Action DLL. Use a RegistrySearch to detect installation of IIS 6.0 (search the mail archives, other people have posted what they use to do this reliably) then condition the Publish tags which show your dialog with this Property.
e.g. <Property Id="DETECTIIS6" Secure="yes"> <RegistrySearch Id="IIS6Search" Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\IIS6\This_is_psuedocode_don't_use_it_literally" Type="raw" Name="Version"/> </Property> <Publish Dialog="FirstDialog" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog" Value="LastDialog" Order="1">NOT DETECTIIS6</Publish> <Publish Dialog="FirstDialog" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog" Value="IISConfigDlg" Order="2">DETECTIIS6</Publish> <Publish Dialog="LastDialog" Control="Back" Event="NewDialog" Value="FirstDialog" Order="1">NOT DETECTIIS6</Publish> <Publish Dialog="LastDialog" Control="Back" Event="NewDialog" Value="IISConfigDlg" Order="2">DETECTIIS6</Publish> Palbinder Sandher Software Deployment & IT Administrator T: +44 (0) 141 945 8500 F: +44 (0) 141 945 8501 http://www.iesve.com **Design, Simulate + Innovate with the <Virtual Environment>** Integrated Environmental Solutions Limited.

I'm working on the Custom Dialog to accept the Web Application Name and the Port Number. I've written a Custom Action dll which checks whether a web application exists on a specific port number and I'm triggering this custom action on "Next" Button Click in my custom dialog. All I want to achieve is to hide ("not" allow this custom dialog to display) if IIS 6.0 is "not" installed. And if IIS is installed, then allow this custom dialog to appear. Is there a way to hide a Custom Dialog based on this specific condition ? Do I need to write the code for this purpose in my custom action dll ? OR is it possible to achieve through Wix Extensions for IIS ? Please suggest. Thanks. Vishwajit. ________________________________ READER BEWARE: Unencrypted, unsigned Internet e-mail is inherently insecure.
