Bob, could you tell us why this is the case ? The SDK seems to imply that you can use UI dialogs as long as you respect the UILevel property http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368281(VS.85).aspx and dont use it to report errors back to the installer.
Is it just telling you how to achieve something without mentioning that its not a good practice ? -----Original Message----- From: Bob Arnson [mailto:b...@joyofsetup.com] Sent: 11 October 2009 00:48 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Never show UI from a CA; there's no way to get the same UI level information that MSI uses to determine whether UI should be shown. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Come build with us!
