Is there a discussion or an article on what approach to take to develop installer GUI.
If I'm not mistaken, I can see three ways of doing this: 1. Write Win32 application that will display all dialogs and collect all the configuration data , and then call MSI passing this configuration. 2. It looks like there is a way for windows installer to delegate GUI to external Win32 application. 3. Use windows installer controls (what WiX effectively does) Maybe I'm still very inexperienced with installer controls, but it seems very hard to do something different, or change behavior of controls. I'm thinking of using approach 1, but maybe I'm missing something and it won't work?
