You certainly can. You just can't easily alter the UI due to the upgrade. EmbeddedUI was intended to provide a replacement for ExternalUI if the only reason for using a bootstrapper was to avoid using InternalUI. Since most bootstrappers make all of their determinations and then call the packages with various properties already set, that is what the EmbeddedUI accommodates.
You can get notifications during InstallUISequence if you didn't suppress InternalUI from your initialization code. Unfortunately, a session handle isn't supplied in to the handler routine, and the docs state that the session handle passed to the initialization routine isn't valid after you return from that routine, so you can't reflect back decisions outside of the return code from the handler. However, during the initialization routine, you can run a limited set of actions to help you determine what you need to show and what settings you will ultimately need to make before returning to accommodate whatever was discovered. -----Original Message----- From: AG Crum [mailto:crum.and...@gmail.com] Sent: Saturday, October 10, 2009 7:14 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Upgrade Detection (FindRelatedProducts) with EmbeddedUI I create a very basic MSI with an embeddedUI (the sample embedded UI). FindRelatedProducts is already first in the InstallExecuteSequence. The issue is that the EmbeddedUI launches first. Only after the IEmbeddedUI.Intialize() returns true, does the InstallExecuteSequence begin. Does this mean that you cannot perform upgrades while using an Embedded UI? -Andrew On Sat, Sep 19, 2009 at 12:17 PM, Konstantin Vlasenko < konstantin.vlase...@gmail.com> wrote: > Open your msi via ORCA.exe. > Find the ordering of the custom actions. > Set desired order for FindRelatedProducts. > > 2009/9/19 AG Crum <crum.and...@gmail.com> > > > Has anyone done an upgrade while using an EmbeddedUI?
