I've never needed to feed anything back to the UI sequence from the
Execute sequence so I'm not sure of the limitations, if any.
However If you enable logging you'll be able to see when and where
properties are changed/modified, just search for "PROPERTY CHANGE:" in
the log.

So it looks like being able to cancel an MSBuild task mid-progress is something
new to MSBuild 4.0. Since WiX tasks have to work in VS2005, 2008, and 2010, the
tasks are compiled against MSBuild 2.0 and cannot take on the 4.0 dependency. I
suppose it could be split so that there is one tasks DLL
We came across this in a test lab the other day, and after upgrading to the MSI
4.5 engine it went away. Of course it might have just gone away by itself. I

already using that of course

Light doesn't have any code to "check for cancel" that I'm aware of.

I have a dialog in my installer where I have the browse option.
The way I am trying to access the desktop folder is as shown below:

Please let me know whats wrong in the above syntax.

I don't think it is possible and while the build is running VS is not

Votive has finally done it but that is still in Beta.
