I downloaded the newest WiX 3.0 weekly build, I found the same condition
there, as well.
In the MSDN page I referred to in my first email, I also found statements to
the effect that Preselected can be used to determine if the user is doing
resumption of a previously aborted installation.

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.

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
