Thanks Jacob,

Actually, my xx.msi package already have standard UIs. 

But I still need to run one win form application(used for doing necessary 
things) during the installation.
You can 

So I considering to use bootstrapper to accomplish this task. 
Unfortunately I only can chain the win form application and my xx.msi package 
together until now.

It will be very helpful if you can give some advices.

Best Regard,
Timiz

Don't "shell out" to a custom application for settings.  If the settings are 
required for installation then gather them in a standard MSI UI or write your 
own BA and pass them to the MSI as properties. Regardless of the method used, 
you need to remember that silent installations will have no UI, so they must be 
able to be command line driven.

I believe the official MS stance is to collect user preferences and do initial 
application configuration on first run of the application (separate 
installation from configuration).

Subject: [WiX-users] Injection Custom UI after LicenseAgreementDlg

I use c# created a win form application that used for doing some configuration 
things during installation.

Now I want to inject these form application after the LicenseAgreementDlg.

I have tried use <Binary> to define the location of my app, and define a 
<CustomAction>, Then use <Publish> to do action after Click "Next" in that 
dialog, but failed.
 Seems I need to include the dll files and config files used by the Form App.
But I don`t know how to include these files.

Then I tried   bootstrapper, how should I define the bootstrapper to call my 
Form App after the LicenseAgreementDlg?

I`m new to WIX, any help will be great!

Thanks,
Timiz
