You can force an error by creating a custom error type and then calling it.
Under the UI element
create an error element with a unique id like this:
Your error message here
Then create a CustomAction like this:
You can then schedule that CustomAction in your InstallUISequence.

For an install only event you want a condition of Installed, and for uninstall
only you want
REMOVE="ALL". You also have the condition in the wrong place. The condition
has to be a child of
the Custom element when you schedule it in the install/ui sequence. I'm

Is that a WiX 3 dialog? (I can't find any userregistrationdlg file in

Anyway, just guessing, if you look at the source for this dialog it
probably contains references to some built-in properties that are given
default initial values. Change this to two new properties you define
yourself.

I had dealt with this issue before, you may find the discussion if you search

What I ultimately did was this;
I create a dummy installation project with Visual Studio 2005, and I make it

file that VS generates, and I put in the one WiX generates. Congratulations,
you have a setup.exe that installs all the pre-requisites.
