[WiX-users] Important: Check for space in the path

I'm so sorry to send this email again. I need an urgent answer for this problem, and it seems that this mailing list is my last resort. This is my problem: I have created an installer with "WiXUi.InstallDir". I need to check the install path that the user selects and not let him continue the inst

Re: [WiX-users] Validate Product Key Dialog with custom action

Thanks for your reply Phil. I did find some examples on managed custom actions and I know what you mean by "arm-weaving". I also found an example using a C++ Win32 application. This seems like it is the way I need to go but the example was outdated and the code didn't compile. I'm not very familiar

Re: [WiX-users] Validate Product Key Dialog with custom action

You can't get there from here. The infrastructure for calling managed code custom actions isn't natively supported by MSI, and even if you did all the arm-waving to make it work as a custom action (called from the UI sequence) it's so decoupled from the install that you cannot use it to set a p

OK, so you've reproduced it on a clean installation. I still have the other questions from before: - What are the values of the TMP, TEMP and USERPROFILE environment variables? - What version of WiX are you using (including build number)? - Have you tried the latest weekly release from wix.sourc
