The custom action is a very complex database installer, so MsiProcessMessage is not going to help. So I take it there is no way to make this app modal?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Custom Action Type 18 starts behind main installwindow This may or may not help you but at least it covers the subject: http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2009/02/20/9435239.aspx A clue there is to use a hidden mouse to click your window to bring it to the front. Or your app could flash it's taskbar icon to get the user's attention. I don't know what you're doing here, but you should normally be collecting and showing data during the UI sequence and using MsiProcessMessage where appropriate to show messages above the running installer window.

Subject: [WiX-users] Custom Action Type 18 starts behind main install window I have a GUI custom action type 18. How do I make it start in foreground? Or better yet, is there a way to make it modal to main install window? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
