It's wasn't so simple to replace ScrollableText control text. A simple property replacement does not work.
I have made a EULA replacement custom action DLL to read EULA from the text file. The routine was like: 1. MsiGetActiveDatabase 2. MsiDatabaseOpenView with SQL selecting the whole row containing the EULA text control 3. MsiViewExecute to retrieve the record (hRecord) 4. MsiViewModify(hView, MSIMODIFY_DELETE, hRecord) 5. MsiRecordSetString to replace the column in the hRecord 6. MsiViewModify(hView, MSIMODIFY_INSERT_TEMPORARY, hRecord) Updating with the temporary row was the only way to achieve the goal with DELETE and INSERT_TEMPORARY. I have never succeeded any other way around.

Ok I have 2 license agreements, the thing is I need both license to be in 1 list. Now I already though of just moving the text from one to the other, but thats not going to work. Said License_2 wants their EULA to retrieved using a function call. So I have a custom action retrieve and place that text into a variable and also retrieve my license agreement and combine them in my C program, then I call WcaSetProperty and give back my long string. That all worked fine, the problem came when I tried to put them in my control. <Control Id ="LicenseAgreement" Type="ScrollableText"...> <Text> [EULA] <!--This being my property ID--></Text> -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/2-License-in-1-ScrollableText-Control-tf2043011.html#a5624664 Sent from the wix-users forum at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
