I am not using the latest version of WiX 2.0, so I am not sure where
else Preselected might be currently used. Making your own copy of
ProgressDlg.wxs should work, but I wonder if the condition that is being
used in the WiX ProgressDlg.wxs is not correct.

uninstall?
Brian, thanks for the quick reply.
Let me elaborate what I am doing a little more. I need to
display some custom dialogs durin uninstall. So, I followed the
technique as described in
http://www.pcreview.co.ui/forums/thread-1544595.php . Basically I set
ARP SYSTEMCOMPONENT to 1. And then I create new registry entry to
specify my own UninstallString to "msiexec /x {ProductCode} /qf", which
gives me full UI during uninstall.
But this seems to mess up the Preselected property.
One thing I can do is to make my own copy of ProgressDlg.wxs and
fix the condition to TitleInstalling by removing Preselected out of the
condition. But should I worry about Preselected having other uses in
other parts of the uninstall process?
Thanks!
Charles

I think using /x to indicate uninstall will set

during uninstall?
Hi, All WiX experts,
I am using WiX 2.0 to make a .msi file for my
project.
I am having problem when running uninstall in
full UI mode
msiexec /x my.msi /qf
The Preselected property is set to 1. This
messes up the title of ProgressDlg, where both "Installing [product
name]" and "Removing [product name]" are displayed at the same time in
the dialog, which makes it look ugly.
In ProgressDlg.wxs, <Control
Id="TitleInstalling> has a condition:
NOT Installed OR (Installed AND (RESUME OR
Preselected) AND NOT PATCH)
This TitleInstalling is not supposed to be shown
during uninstall. But it did because the condition is true, and that's
because "Installed" is true and "Preselec"t is 1.
The reason that Preselected is 1 during
uninstall seems to be:
According to the log, I have REMOVE=ALL.
According to MSDN, if REMOVE is present, then Preselected is set to 1.
(See here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370839.aspx )
I didn't set REMOVE anywhere in my wxs scripts.
I need the full UI mode because I need custom
dialogs to give the user an option to remove data files generated by my
app.
Can someone explain to me why Preselected is set
to 1?
Thanks!
Charles
