There is a provision in Windows Installer for supporting/generating a
multiple disk installation, so that a large install could be shipped
on floppy disks.
A bit of digging into the WiX / MSI archives will provide the info
that you need - be glad you're shipping in 10MB chunks and not 1.44MB

I hit this problem a few years ago and decided that the added
complexity of trying to reuse dialogs wasn't worth the effort -
development, debugging and maintenance would have been a nightmare.
It was easier to copy/paste the dialog code and the person who took
over the project after me was easily
Yes, it's not terribly well documented, however it is possible.
Bear in mind that, after doing so, it's not possible to
programmatically refresh the ARP dialog - you'll need to hit F5 or
reload ARP to see the changes.

Are you running on x86 or x64? 32 bit installer will be remapped on
x64 OS, If x64, registry entries redirect to Wow6432Node, e.g.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Communicator
instead of:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Communicator

Please bear with me - it's been a while since I've dealt with this
issue and the solution may be hopelessly old school.
The tribal elders will likely have a better solution for this, but
this should get you past the block.
Create one Component with Start="install" and one without the Start
propert
What I've done is to put the binary in the .resources for the .exe and
then extract it and write it out to TEMP and run it from there. If
you're doing this as a per-machine install, extract to ProgramFiles.

What are the errors?
Can you email your wxs file and .cmd file for building and I'll take a look?

Doing so has the potential to mess up your patching solution.
Best practice is to have one versioned file (.dll, .exe) per component.

Looking through the code, I'm seeing that ExitOnFailure is being
called in firewall.cpp/GetFirewallProfile, the line that contains:
hr = pfwPolicy->get_CurrentProfile(ppfwProfile);
ExitOnFailure(hr, "failed to get current profile");
So, any tips on how I get ExitOnFailure to *not* displa
The problem that we're hitting is that it appears that the WiX custom
action is throwing a dialog - any way to suppress that dialog?
