I have authored an installer using Wix 3.6 RC. I have a checkbox in the
dialog UI which is disabled and unchecked initially. There is a "Verify"
button next to it. When I press this button a custom action gets executed
(immediate) and sets a value of parameter which decides whether check box
gets enabled or not. Here is the code:
<Control Id="VirtualCheckBox"
Type="CheckBox"
CheckBoxValue="1"
X="35" Y="100"
Width="160" Height="20"
Disabled="yes"
Text="!(loc.VirtualizationDlg_ChkBox)"
Property="ENABLEVIRTUALIZATION">
<Condition Action="enable"><![CDATA[INTEGRATED = "1"]]></Condition>
<Condition Action="disable"><![CDATA[INTEGRATED = "0"]]></Condition>
</Control>
I am storing this value of checkbox in registry:
<Component Id="Virtualization_RegistryEntries" Guid="GUID-IS-HERE">
<Condition>Not Installed</Condition>
<RegistryKey Root="HKCU"
Key="Software\!(loc.CompanyName)\!(loc.ProductName)">
<RegistryValue Type="string" Name="Virtualization"
Value="[ENABLEVIRTUALIZATION]" KeyPath="yes"/>
</RegistryKey>
</Component>
Now I have to do this:
1) If user does not click the Verify button : Registry gets value 0
2) If he clicks button (CA gets false and checkbox remains disabled) :
Registry gets value 0
3) If he clicks button and checkbox enables but he does not check the
checkbox : Registry gets value 0
4) If he clicks button and checkbox enables and he does check the check box
: Registry gets value 1
Mine is not working at only one condition, when he checks this, registry
does get 1 but either it is disabled or remains unchecked the registry gets
nothing.
Now when I use: <Property Id="ENABLEVIRTUALIZATION" Value="0" />
the check box is checked but remain disabled in UI and registry entry shows
as 0 (great). But now I have a valid Verify button action and checkbox
enables (but still checked). and I go ahead with installation, I saw
registry value still be 0 (oh man!!!) rather it should be 1.
Is there a better way to do this or alternate solution?
