Hi Dave, a dirty trick would be to attach an event to the radiobox or [next]-button of the dialog and call a CustomAction that reads the current property value and stores it in the registry.
I did something similar (some heavy registry manipulations and UI prework) and called the according CustomAction when the [next]-button of the WelcomeDlg was started, here are some code snippets: ======================================= <Binary Id="CADLL" SourceFile="[path to custom action dll]CustomActions.CA.dll"/> <CustomAction Id="SetRegProperties" BinaryKey="CADLL" DllEntry="SetRegProperties"/> <InstallExecuteSequence> <!-- NOTE: SetRegProperties is NOT queued up in the InstallExecuteSequence --> ... </InstallExecuteSequence> ... <UI Id="..."> <Publish Dialog="WelcomeDlg" Control="Next" Event="DoAction" Value="SetRegProperties" Order="1">1</Publish> <Publish Dialog="WelcomeDlg" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog" Value="BlablaDlg" Order="2">NOT Installed</Publish> <Publish Dialog="WelcomeDlg" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog" Value="VerifyReadyDlg" Order="2">Installed AND PATCH</Publish> </UI> ======================================== For my CustomAction I've used DTF and coded the CustomAction in c# - this makes implementation very easy but requires .Net framework installed on the target machine... For details, see also chapter 3 of the WiX tutorial, section "3.4 Custom Action in Controls" and "3.5 How to Manage Custom Actions?"

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] registry key change on radio button selection Hi David, Sorry to not get back sooner. Not sure if this is the answer I'm looking for. Will try and explain again, was a bit of a rushed email last time: Ok So I have created a property in a fragment called [IAgree], the value of this depends on which radio button (in a custom dialog) is selected (will be either 1 or 0). If the option of 1 is selected then another custom dialog appears, displaying some other info. If it is 0 then it goes straight to the standard end dialog. This part works fine. However what I then want to do is take the value of this property (once selection has been made) and store it in a registry key. So far I have only been able to store the default value of [IAgree] in the registry key, it doesn't take the updated value of a selection. Hope this has explained it a bit better, any more help you can give me will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

However the key value only ever takes the default value of the property, it doesn't pick up the change when a different button is selected? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated!
