Hello, I am using Wix 3.8.401.0 and Visual Studio 2010. I am writing a custom managed bootstrapper that bundles my MSI, another 3rd party MSI and it has a .net 4 prerequisite. When I use the built-in .NET dialog I have no issues and it works great. However, I am now customizing the UI (basically completely changing it). What happens is that my splash screen comes up, it detects that netfx40Redist needs to be installed. It shows my customized UI beautifully, however, every single bit of text and every button is disabled. The UI is not frozen, I can hit the form close button and it prompts me if I want to exit and I can exit no problem. I cannot find anything on the forum or with google searches about this specific issue. Everything similar seems to be related to race conditions and the usage of threads which I have resolved a while ago.
