Wix doesn't provide any UI controls. It simply enables you to use Windows Installer controls. Your options are limited to what is described here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa368041%28v=vs.85%29 .aspx Note especially, "However, not all standard Microsoft Windows controls are available, and custom controls cannot be created for use with the installer UI."
If you require a flexible custom installer UI you need to create an external UI, which is also described in the MSDN but is a non-trivial exercise. Bootstrappers such as DotNetInstaller and Burn allow you to wrap a custom UI around a silent MSI. -----Original Message----- From: Ingo Fischer [mailto:ingoderfisc...@hotmail.com] Sent: 05 September 2012 13:24 To: wix-users-list Subject: Re: [WiX-users] modify CheckBox control Thank you Pally the answer.
