After more research, I have found it is my manifest that is causing the issue, 
not wix 3.5.  However, I still have not found a solution. I have tried several 
changes to manifest with varying errors.  I have also tried uiAccess="true", 
but that caused " a referral was returned from the server" error.  Sounds like 
for that to be true I need it to be signed.  

I haven't used manifest files before, so I'm hoping I'm just missing some 
attribute or something.  Has anyone run into this?  Thanks in advance.

Here's more info if needed:
I'm on Windows 7 64-bit machine building from visual studio 2010, using wix 
3.5.  I added a manifest so I could elevate privileges prior to any dialogs 
showing. After building, when I run the msi (from command line as 
administrator), the combobox works. But, when I run setup.exe instead of msi, 
the uac elevates properly, but my combobox won't drop down when I click on it.  
Values are listed fine in the combobox and I can use up/down arrows to select, 
but clicking on it does nothing.

Here are my pre and post build events to include the manifest and build the 
setup.exe:

Pre-build event
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\mt.exe" -manifest 
"$(ProjectDir)My.manifest" -outputresource:"$(ProjectDir)Setup.exe";#1

Post-build event
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Installer XML v3.5\bin\setupbld.exe" -out 
"$(TargetDir)Setup.exe" -msu "$(TargetDir)MyMsi.msi" -setup 
"$(ProjectDir)Setup.exe"

Here's my manifest file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
  <assemblyIdentity version="1.0.0.0" name="Setup" type="win32" />
  <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
    <security>
      <requestedPrivileges>
        <requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" 
/>
      </requestedPrivileges>
    </security>
  </trustInfo>
</assembly>

Subject: [WiX-users] Combobox dropdown

Hi wix users,

I have a custom dialog where I use a ComboBox dropdown with a list of websites 
to upgrade.  My immediate ca's populate the Combobox fine but when I click on 
the combobox to change selection, it doesn't do anything.  I can change the 
values using the up/down arrows, but clicking on the combobox does nothing.  
This worked in wix 3.0, but appears not to in 3.5.  I haven't found any posts 
for this, so asking if anyone has seen this and if anyone has ideas.

Here's what my code looks like:
<Control Type="ComboBox" Width="269" Height="16" X="26" Y="79" 
Id="ExistingWebsite" Property="ExistingWebsite" Sorted="no" ComboList="yes" />

I have tried with property and Id all upper cased, sorted as yes and no, with 
or without ComboList attribute.

Thanks, Craig
