Thanks, Pally. Your point about 'the only way to fix is to copy and paste' is what I expected the answer to be. Ultimately what I ended up doing (after I noticed that AdvancedWelcomeEulaDlg also doesn't include a 'Back' button) was to switch to using the WelcomeDlg with the LicenseAgreementDlg, then having that go to the InstallScopeDlg or InstallDirDlg (as the AdvancedWelcomeEulaDlg did). So the user doesn't get an explicit 'Install' button from the EULA dialog, but that's what I was asked to do--the requirement was for something that actually made the users go through the choices (so it was my error to try to use the AdvancedWelcomeEulaDlg in the first place, but at least I learned something from you.)
