I find it more elegant to have the custom action only set a property and 
return.  Then on the remaining control events use the property in a 
condition to perform a SpawnDialog on a custom dialog that displayes the 
error message.  This way MSI continues to handle the UI.

Subject: [WiX-users] How to bring a VBScript window in front of the wizard 
window?


I have this wix code that calls a VBScript code to show a window:


<CustomAction Id="AskLicense" Script="vbscript">

<![CDATA[

MsgBox "The License File Path will be asked here by a file dialog 

eventually.", 1, "License File Needed"

Session.Property("SELECTEDRLPLICENSEFILE") = 

"C:/dummy/location/foo.txt"

]]>

</CustomAction>


<InstallExecuteSequence>

<Custom Action="AskLicense" After="InstallValidate">Not Installed</Custom>

</InstallExecuteSequence>


The window is shown but it's hidden under the wizard window.

How can I bring it to the front, or else side of the wizard window?


Kuro
