IMO it's better to do this as part of the first run of the app, as somebody
mentioned already. After all, the key is to USE the software, not install
it, right?
Calling UI custom actions from an install is tricky. It's less tricky in the
UI sequence, but why bother when you can use an MSI dialog?

Hi all,
I have a question on using burn for a multi package install with full download.
I have a chain of packages like below:

The question of dialogs in custom actions has come up in the past and the
advice from the people in the know is to use MSI UI to do the GUI parts so

Heat is specifically intended for this and is the best way. You'd be better
off trying to solve your errors than trying to find another approach which
will work less well.
This is an example command line that we use

-wx -dr "INSTALLDIR" -var
Hi,
Do you mean to add a WIX dialog for the key in the MSI?
Do you know of any tutorials to help me with this as I'm getting "Debug
Assertion Failed" on:
ASSERT(m_lpszTemplateName != NULL || m_hDialogTemplate != NULL ||
m_lpDialogTemplate != NULL);
Thanks
