Thanks for the reply, n what about the checkbox not getting
unchecked/checked? If I write:
[CDATA[0]]
the checkbox (once visible) will not check ever no matter how much I click
over it, and if:
[CDATA[1]]
the checkbox wont uncheck ever.

 What you describe about the control becoming visible when you hover the
mouse over it may indicate that you have an overlap of controls. I.e.,
there may be another control whose position and size conflicts with the
check box's position and size.

One way of seeing these problems is to look at the dialog box with a
graphic editor, like in sharpDevelop.

You might find some tips in my (unfinished) beginners tutorial for WiX:

 Hi,
I'm creating an installer in wix. The basic *.wxs file I created by
decompiling (using dark) from the msi setup I made in visual studio 2k5's
setup and deployment project. So now I use only wix. Now I want to add this
feature on the last screen when installation is done that there should be a
checkbox that if clicked should run the installed application after the
close button is pressed on the last screem (FinishedForm). I've done the
launching part by adding:
<CustomAction Id="Launch" Return="asyncNoWait"
FileKey="_BAC91B52626C4FC89B3665F29A8D644E" ExeCommand="" />

and the following line inside the CloseButton
<Publish Event="DoAction" Value="Launch"><![CDATA[NOT
Installed]]></Publish>

But now I want to add a checkbox to the last screen that if checked should
allow the Launch to happen. Now to do that, I again made a new setup using
vs and added a screeen with checkboxes, compiled it using vs and decompiled
using dark to see what the code is than copied the checkbox code to my
FinishedForm in my wix project:

       <Control Id="Checkbox1" Type="CheckBox" X="18" Y="110" Width="348"
Height="12" Property="CHECKBOXA1">
         <Text><![CDATA[{\VSI_MS_Shell_Dlg13.0_0_0}Lanuch app]]></Text>
         <Property Id="CHECKBOXA1"><![CDATA[0]]></Property>
       </Control>

and added a:
<CustomAction Id="CustomCheckA_SetProperty_CHECKBOX1" Return="check"
Execute="firstSequence" Property="CHECKBOXA1" Value="" />

But what it does is very strange. I run the installer, when the
installation is finished on the last screen i see no checkbox but when I
move mouse around the finished form the check box suddenly appears with the
text I wrote. But it doest not get checked (and even if it can get
checked/unchecked how can I use it to control the launch of application? I
believe something to do with *conditions*?). How can I properly use this
feature and fix it?

Regards,

..ab
