Yes, I've seen this issue on one machine. Text disappears on a repaint.
All text drawn over a bitmap (like the welcome/finish page text and the
banner text) is affected. I've only seen this on 1 machine (I'm testing
with 3 here) and I think it's a display driver issue, but not sure.

I see that there is a repainting issue with the progress dialog title during
install and uninstall. The Installing/Uninstalling the title
disappears while executing few custom actions.
Have anybody faced this issue before??
Please help

I upgraded WiX from a version from a couple of months ago to 3.5.1710.0
and started getting the following linker errors:

I looked at "MsiProcessMessage Function" and at "Sending Messages to Windows

But if you right it means that I cannot use MsiProcessMessage() at custom
actions called by PushButton?

Hi,
This is really frustrating. I had a working MSI, but realized I was violating
some MSI rules (used the same KeyPath for multiple components) and decided to
clean it up. Now, when following the guidelines, my components are not removed
from the system.
Installation is per-user only,
RegistryValue element and ServiceControl element. Too much caffeine
today...

I think WiX 3.5 is still in Beta so I believe they are taking bug
reports still. Might be worth filing one in this case.

If you folks are using WiX 3.5 then you could be hitting a bug. I'm
thinking it's the first to support IIS 7, which that method
"WriteIIS7ConfigChanges" seems to imply.
