I looked at the following lines from your log and drew three conclusions: Lines: MSI (c) (78:88) [12:09:49:742]: Doing action: PrepareDlg Action 12:09:49: PrepareDlg. Action start 12:09:49: PrepareDlg. Action 12:09:49: PrepareDlg. Dialog created Action ended 12:09:50: PrepareDlg. Return value 1. ... MSI (c) (78:88) [12:09:50:086]: Skipping action: MaintenanceWelcomeDlg (condition is false) MSI (c) (78:88) [12:09:50:086]: Skipping action: ResumeDlg (condition is false) MSI (c) (78:88) [12:09:50:086]: Skipping action: WelcomeDlg (condition is false) MSI (c) (78:88) [12:09:50:086]: Doing action: WelcomeEulaDlg Action 12:09:50: WelcomeEulaDlg. Action start 12:09:50: WelcomeEulaDlg. Info 2898. For WixUI_Font_Title textstyle, the system created a 'Tahoma' font, in 0 character set, of 14 pixels height. Action 12:09:50: WelcomeEulaDlg. Dialog created Action ended 12:09:54: WelcomeEulaDlg. Return value 1. MSI (c) (78:88) [12:09:54:226]: Doing action: ProgressDlg Action 12:09:54: ProgressDlg. Action start 12:09:54: ProgressDlg. Action 12:09:54: ProgressDlg. Dialog created Action ended 12:09:54: ProgressDlg. Return value 1.
Conclusions: 1. You are using either 3.5 or 3.6 of WiX. 2. You are basing your installation on the WixUI_Minimal UI 3. You didn't replace WelcomeEulaDlg. WixUI_Minimal is the least open to change, simply because for initial install (and major upgrade) the first dialog seen is the "WelcomeEulaDlg" and the second one is progress, so there are no navigation steps in WixUI_Minimal.wxs to override (the dialog itself handles all of its own navigation). That is different from all the other WixUI_* UI flows (except the "non-advanced" path in WixUI_Advanced, which does the same thing). If you really want to keep WixUI_Minimal/WelcomeEulaDlg, you will need to copy/replace not just WixUI_Minimal.wxs but WelcomeEulaDlg.wxs as well (be sure to rename the dialog's Id as well as the UI's Id). Move the two Install buttons to your dialog, and use a Next button in their place, and place the Next button's navigation into your replacement for WixUI_Minimal. -Blair -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Burton [mailto:kev...@buyseasons.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2011 10:17 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Alternatively, upgrade to WiX v3.5.2519.0, open your solution & hope for the best. If that fails see above. Votive in WiX v2.0 was very experimental & not ready for production use. WiX v3.0 was the first version it was recommended for use so you find yourself in a situation no one else has as you're using a version which as been superseded for 18 months plus.
