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> -----Original Message----- From: Scharp, Craig [mailto:craig.sch...@fuelquest.com] Sent: Monday, January 09, 2012 5:59 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. 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.
