Re: [WiX-users] launch webpage on uninstall

WiX 3.0 does have 2-3 lines of code to implement this. WiX 2.0 doesn't. In WiX 3.0 I would do it thus: WIXUI_EXITDIALOGOPTIONALCHECKBOX = 1 AND (Installed AND NOT REINSTALL) http://www.iesve.com/"; /> Which would add a checkbox on the ExitDialog when Uninstallin
