Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to detect files presence and conditionally show a new added dialog page Thanks a lot, Blair! It works now. It seems the "Order" attribute is important. I also realized that you added this line: <Publish Dialog="MyInstallDirDlg" Control="Next" Property="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR_VALID" Value="[WIXUI_INSTALLDIR_VALID]" Order="3"/> Can you tell me where Richard's blog is? Thanks again. You saved our project. ________________________________ From: Blair <os...@live.com> To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. <wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Tuesday, October 27, 2009 2:14:10 PM Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to detect files presence and conditionally show a new added dialog page In Richard's blog post, he details the issue with Windows Installer not recognizing that WIXUI_INSTALLDIR_VALID has had a value set/changed by the custom action.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to detect files presence and conditionally show a new added dialog page I'm having trouble with this "conditionally show a dialog based on a property". Now I can conditionally show the dialog. But when I click on the Next or Back button, there is nothing happened. I'll have to click the button again to go forward or back. I took the code from WixUI_InstallDir.wxs and renamed it as MyWixUI_InstallDir.wxs and used it in my project. I changed the code by using your example, here is my code: <Publish Dialog="MyInstallDirDlg" Control="Back" Event="NewDialog" Value="LicenseAgreementDlg">1</Publish> <Publish Dialog="MyInstallDirDlg" Control="Next" Event="SetTargetPath" Value="[WIXUI_INSTALLDIR]" Order="1">1</Publish> <Publish Dialog="MyInstallDirDlg" Control="Next" Event="DoAction" Value="WixUIValidatePath" Order="2">1</Publish> <Publish Dialog="MyInstallDirDlg" Control="Next" Event="SpawnDialog" Value="InvalidDirDlg" Order="3"><![CDATA[WIXUI_INSTALLDIR_VALID<>"1"]]></Publish> <!--My code start here--> <Publish Dialog="MyInstallDirDlg" Control="Next" Property="InstallDirNextDialog" Value="{}"/> <Publish Dialog="MyInstallDirDlg" Control="Next" Property="InstallDirNextDialog" Value="MyAddedConfirmDlg"><![CDATA[WIXUI_INSTALLDIR_VALID="1" and NEED_MIGRATE_SETTING="1"]]></Publish> <Publish Dialog="MyInstallDirDlg" Control="Next" Property="InstallDirNextDialog" Value="VerifyReadyDlg"><![CDATA[WIXUI_INSTALLDIR_VALID="1" and NEED_MIGRATE_SETTING<>"1"]]></Publish> <Publish Dialog="MyInstallDirDlg" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog" Value="[InstallDirNextDialog]" Order="4">InstallDirNextDialog</Publish> <!--My code end here--> <Publish Dialog="MyInstallDirDlg" Control="ChangeFolder" Property="_BrowseProperty" Value="[WIXUI_INSTALLDIR]" Order="1">1</Publish> <Publish Dialog="MyInstallDirDlg" Control="ChangeFolder" Event="SpawnDialog" Value="BrowseDlg" Order="2">1</Publish> Many thanks. I'm looking forward your kindly help. ________________________________ From: little.forest <little.for...@ymail.com> To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. <wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Tuesday, October 27, 2009 12:41:24 AM Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to detect files presence and conditionally show a new added dialog page Hi Richard, You're right. I did got some weird error by not using your approach for button control event when I went back and forth among those dialog pages. So I tried your approach, the errors were gone. However, I'm getting some other new weird issues: every time I've to click the "Next" button or "Back" button 2 times to go next or go back, very strange. But after this two times of clicking, I can go back and forth without problem. What's wrong? You know, I took the code from WixUI_InstallDir.wxs and renamed it as MyWixUI_InstallDir.wxs and used it in my project. I changed the code by using your example, here is my code: <Publish Dialog="MyInstallDirDlg" Control="Back" Event="NewDialog" Value="LicenseAgreementDlg">1</Publish> <Publish Dialog="MyInstallDirDlg" Control="Next" Event="SetTargetPath" Value="[WIXUI_INSTALLDIR]" Order="1">1</Publish> <Publish Dialog="MyInstallDirDlg" Control="Next" Event="DoAction" Value="WixUIValidatePath" Order="2">1</Publish> <Publish Dialog="MyInstallDirDlg" Control="Next" Event="SpawnDialog" Value="InvalidDirDlg" Order="3"><![CDATA[WIXUI_INSTALLDIR_VALID<>"1"]]></Publish> <!--My code start here--> <Publish Dialog="MyInstallDirDlg" Control="Next" Property="InstallDirNextDialog" Value="{}"/> <Publish Dialog="MyInstallDirDlg" Control="Next" Property="InstallDirNextDialog" Value="MyAddedConfirmDlg"><![CDATA[WIXUI_INSTALLDIR_VALID="1" and NEED_MIGRATE_SETTING="1"]]></Publish> <Publish Dialog="MyInstallDirDlg" Control="Next" Property="InstallDirNextDialog" Value="VerifyReadyDlg"><![CDATA[WIXUI_INSTALLDIR_VALID="1" and NEED_MIGRATE_SETTING<>"1"]]></Publish> <Publish Dialog="MyInstallDirDlg" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog" Value="[InstallDirNextDialog]" Order="4">InstallDirNextDialog</Publish> <!--My code end here--> <Publish Dialog="MyInstallDirDlg" Control="ChangeFolder" Property="_BrowseProperty" Value="[WIXUI_INSTALLDIR]" Order="1">1</Publish> <Publish Dialog="MyInstallDirDlg" Control="ChangeFolder" Event="SpawnDialog" Value="BrowseDlg" Order="2">1</Publish> As you can see, I changed the "NewDialog"(Next button) from one line to be 4 lines of code. Is it correct? But I don't know how come I have to click the next button 2 times to go to the next page? Do I have to write all of those 4 conditions(Not A and Not B, A and B, Not A and B, A and Not B) as 4 publish elements? In my case, I only care about two cases(A and B, A and Not B), is it okay? Thanks. /Brian ________________________________ From: Richard <legal...@xmission.com> To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Wednesday, October 21, 2009 9:01:14 PM Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to detect files presence and conditionally show a new added dialog page In article <664797.8163...@web59804.mail.ac4.yahoo.com>, "little.forest" <little.for...@ymail.com> writes: > "Additionally, you can't have more than one NewDialog control event > on a button, even if the conditions are mutually exclusive." - this is > interesting.
