Thank you for the responses,
Holmgren/Willie,
http://www.wixwiki.com/index.php?title=WixUI_Custom is exactly what I¹ve
been using, but this explains inserting a dialog. Instead I¹m modifying an
existing dialog flow which is defined in the WixUIExtension.dll
So far I haven¹t found a resource that talks about replacing the behavior of
an existing dialog.
Chris,
I¹m not using voltive, so I don¹t know what happens in the background when
UI is generated. But I think I¹m doing what you described in the steps...
Here¹s the UI element based on
http://www.wixwiki.com/index.php?title=WixUI_Custom
So instead of having the following sequence:
MaintenanceWelcomeDialog -> MaintenanceTypeDlg -> WixUI_InstallMode=Remove=1
-> VerifyReadyDlg
New sequnce (Uninstall always on maintenance):
MaintenanceWelcomeDialog -> WixUI_InstallMode=Remove=1 -> VerifyReadyDlg
<UI Id="GUI">
<UIRef Id="WixUI_Common" />
<Property Id="DefaultUIFont" Value="WixUI_Font_Normal" />
...........etc
<DialogRef Id="BrowseDlg" />
..........etc
<!-- list of screens and controls presented to user -->
..........................
<Publish Dialog="MaintenanceWelcomeDlg" Control="Next"
Event="NewDialog" Value="VerifyReadyDlg">1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="MaintenanceTypeDlg" Control="Back" Event="NewDialog"
Value="MaintenanceWelcomeDlg">1</Publish>
<Dialog Id="MaintenanceWelcomeDlg" Width="370" Height="270"
Title="!(loc.MaintenanceWelcomeDlg_Title)">
......................
<!-- custom mod; to enforce the Removal on Minimal UI
installs -->
<Publish Property="WixUI_InstallMode"
Value="Remove">1</Publish>
<!-- end custom data -->
..........................
</Dialog>
</UI>
This gives me the error I described earlier:
[exec] installer.wxs(51): error LGHT0091: Duplicate symbol
'Dialog:MaintenanceWelcomeDlg' found
