>From your code fragment it seems like you're trying to use the inner
text of your publish tags to set your property. Inner text doesn't work
like that, it's generally used as a condition on the element (with some
exceptions like Text Controls).
Try modifying the code for your "yes" and "no" buttons to the following:
<Control Id="yes" Type="PushButton" X="304" Y="243" Width="56"
Height="17" Default="yes" Text="Yes">
<Publish Property="INSTALL_FILE" Value="1">1</Publish>
<Publish Event="EndDialog" Value="Return" >1</Publish>
</Control>
<Control Id="no" Type="PushButton" X="240" Y="243" Width="56"
Height="17" Default="yes" Text="No">
<Publish Property="INSTALL_FILE" Value="0">1</Publish>
<Publish Event="EndDialog" Value="Return" >1</Publish>
</Control>
That should achieve what you're trying to do with those buttons. The 1
in the inner text just means it always does the Publish events when they
are clicked. See the Publish Element in the WiX.chm for more
information.
Hope this helps and good luck.

Subject: [WiX-users] Custom Dialog - Property Setting
Dear All,
I want to create installer for my application which check existence of a
database file located somewhere. If it found the file, it should ask the
user whether to replace it or not.
Till now I have succeed in checking and launching a custom dialog as
mentioned above. I have provided buttons 'Yes' and 'No'.
If user clicks on 'Yes', I want a public property to be set to "1" and
if user clicks on 'No' it should set to "0" without disturbing further
installation process.
Here is my code
<Property
Id="INSTALL_FILE"
Value="xxx"/>
<UI>
<Dialog Id="FILE_Dialog" Width="370" Height="270"
Title="[ProductName]" NoMinimize="yes">
<Control Id="Description" Type="Text" X="25" Y="23"
Width="280" Height="15" Transparent="yes" NoPrefix="yes">
<Text>The Setup has found database instance on your
system. Do you want to remove it...</Text>
</Control>
<Control Id="yes" Type="PushButton" X="304" Y="243"
Width="56" Height="17" Default="yes" Text="Yes">
<Publish Event="EndDialog" Value="Return" >
INSTALL_FILE="1 "
<===================
</Publish>
</Control>
<Control Id="no" Type="PushButton" X="240" Y="243"
Width="56" Height="17" Default="yes" Text="No">
<Publish Event="EndDialog" Value="Return" >
INSTALL_FILE="0"
<===================
</Publish>
</Control>
</Dialog>
</UI>
<InstallUISequence>
<Show Dialog="FILE_Dialog" Before="ExecuteAction"> <![CDATA[
FILE_EXIST ]]> </Show>
</InstallUISequence>
I am getting stucked at arrow pointed lines.
The property 'INSTALL_FILE' is not getting set here.
Basically what I want to do is storing this property value in registry
and then take appropriate action while running my application exe.
Thanks Pally Sandher sir/mam for regularly giving suggestions and thanks
to all for making so efforts.
Anyone having ideas???
Regards,
Ron
