Not sure how you would run your ugly hacking code, nor how you would locate the window with your controls. It isn't documented and your custom action would run in a different process.
The external UI can run actions within the package before it starts the installation sequence (such as AppSearch and FindRelatedProducts) and you can query (and even set) properties before calling MsiDoAction(session, L""), or you can close the handle you opened and call MsiInstallProduct() with the properties you wish to set/override. -----Original Message----- From: Scott Palmer [mailto:swpal...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 13, 2009 7:42 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] change the default wixui dialog color The problem I'm having with this is for the "accept license" checkbox of the "Minimal" UI. It's really awkward to make that UI not look ugly. The external UI is interesting. One way that seems reasonable would be for an external UI in a bootstrapper to come up with values for all sorts of public properties and then just launch the MSI in passive mode (/passive) with those properties defined appropriately. I think that would get you very far along with the least effort. But then it would be more awkward to work in things like checking for product updates (or checking for existing files or registry entries) and providing UI specific to those scenarios. In the realm of ugly hacks: Would it be possible to run custom code that finds the checkboxes in the UI and tweaks them to paint in more reasonable manner?
