I'm running into a strange issue with an interaction between an Edit control
and a default button with a custom action on a WiX Dialog. The Edit is tied to
an MSI property, and the button's custom action does some processing to
validate the value of that property. I'm finding when I make the
During our InstallExecuteSequence we decrement an install count for the user

markup looks like to implement it. I
know it isn't just like what you are looking for, but we have said before that
the internal UI is quite limited. There are a whole other set of limitations on
the external and embedded UIs, but we don't live in a perfect world, apparently.

Our installer has some UI which requests and validates a product key from the
user during InstallUISequence. I want to add an additional checks so that if
some clever user tries to silently install our msi to bypass the UI (and hence
the validation UI) that they install will fail. I have a pri
program.
The end result is a simpler installation that's much easier to manage,
requiring an internet connection during install can lead to a number
of problems so by separating it out the user doesn't get as confused
about why things might be failing.

Let us know how that works.
