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
