Subject: [WiX-users] modifying Welcome Dialog text on upgrade vs install Hey there, I would like the UI to display a slightly different message to the user when we are upgrading (or downgrading) than the standard welcome dialog that is displayed on install. To achieve this, I am trying to conditionally populate a property with the text we would like to display, which differs depending on whether we are installing or upgrading: <!-- set welcome message depending on if we are installing or upgrading --> <CustomAction Id="IsInstalling" Property="RESOLVER_WELCOME_TEXT" Value="installing text" /> <CustomAction Id="IsUpgrading" Property="RESOLVER_WELCOME_TEXT" Value="upgrading text" /> <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action="IsInstalling" After="FindRelatedProducts">NOT OLDERVERSIONDETECTED</Custom> <Custom Action="IsUpgrading" After="IsInstalling">OLDERVERSIONDETECTED</Custom> </InstallExecuteSequence> and then display the value of this property in my custom Welcome Dialog, by defining its description text control with: <Control Id="Description" Type="Text" X="135" Y="80" Width="220" Height="60" Transparent="yes" NoPrefix="yes" Text="Hello [RESOLVER_WELCOME_TEXT][WIXUI_INSTALLDIR]" /> When I compile this, the welcome dialog does display the text "Hello C:\Program Files\Resolver One". So the custom dialog is clearly being displayed, and the property WIXUI_INSTALLDIR is being dereferenced. Presumably my custom property (RESOLVER_WELCOME_TEXT) is either never being set, or is set sometime after this welcome dialog is displayed. We tried displaying this property on the ExitDialog too, but it appeared blank there as well - so it looks like our property is never being set. We tried replacing the condition in our custom action (NOT OLDERVERSIONDETECTED) with 1, but this didn't change anything. We have a second InstallExecuteSequence later in our main .wxs file. We tried merging the two, in case the second definition replaced the first, but to no avail. Any help is much appreciated. Are we even going about this the right way?
