Re: [WiX-users] UI Custom Action displays dialog behing MSI

What does the dialog do? What you are describing is not the right way to do this, IMO. That's why its not working the way you want; Windows Installer isn't designed to support this. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download

Re: [WiX-users] Service uninstall fails in Win 7 from Control Panel

Re: [WiX-users] UI Custom Action displays dialog behing MSI

The problem isn't so much with MessageBox specifically as it is with UI in general: Windows Installer doesn't support custom UI all that well. The "built-in" support for what you are trying to do is called either "embedded UI" or "external UI", not showing dialogs from your immediate custom actions

Re: [WiX-users] Expanding an env var at install time when writing to the registry

After CostFinalize [#fileid] is the full path to your File with Id of "fileid" during installation without any "%" characters in it.
