I’m not looking for any dialogs in particular, but sometimes you don’t know what you can use until you see it. I’ve implemented my own, and was curious what others have done with WiX UI and also if there was a cookie-cutter wizard template that we should be adhering to.

Thanks for the insight on the Microsoft installers. I figured they weren’t MSI UI, but they are some of the best.

I’m sure I already know the answer to some of these questions, but I must ask. Is there a repository of user-submitted WiX UI content? Are there any available templates of some of the more popular dialogues that are used in MSI installers? Is there an unwritten spec to adhere to?

None that I know of. What kind of dialogs are you looking for?

What about some of the more robust install user interfaces, such as Exchange 2003/2007, Office 2003/2007, SQL Server 2005, or Visual Studio 2005? A lot of the interface elements in these installers are my personal WiX Holy Grail.

It's a long, long quest.<g> All of those UIs are implemented as external UI handlers, not using the built-in MSI UI support.
