That's an interesting question. I would expect it to be a "Value" part,

I think you're on the right track. The Name attribute on the Directory

I have a dialog with two check boxes. CB1 and CB2. If CB1 is checked, I'd
like to set CB2 to checked, too. And conversely, I'd like to uncheck CB2 if
CB1 is unchecked.
There must be a way...How can I do this?

I am trying to construct a .msp file to patch a several hundred file

I'm not able to understand how you are able to collect user input from
external UI of an MSI and pass it as command line argument for the same MSI.
The external UI wouldn't show up until the MSI starts executing, so once the
MSI starts executing, the bootstrapper exe can't provide any more c
You don't collect external data during the callback - that's not what it's for.
It makes no sense to use the external callback to set the list of features to
install, as one example. I think you have some assumption about how this is
working that I'm not aware of. In my case I have a .NET progra
Got it. My assumption was that I can use the UI in callback in place of
customized UI in installUISequence for providing user choices to the msi.
That seems to be a wrong assumption.
Thanks for all the help! :)

That's the way it works. If you're impersonating you're not elevated so you
can't create files in C:\. If you are impersonating you can't access the
network. This is why trying to do your own custom copying in these situations
is frequently a bad idea.

That mean I cannot copy a file to network or c: using a deferred custom

Please advice.
