I haven't really checked but I suspect that Property values set in the execute sequence don't change the values in the ui sequence since they are in different processes and I assume are different sessions as a result. I do know that verbose debug logs show a set of ending property values for each sequence separately, but I have not compared the two sets of property spew to know conclusively.
How is your install count preserved? Could you have a custom action in your UI sequence that reads that new value (or the derived state you users need to know) in your dialog? It may also be possible to sequence such a "reader" action after ExecuteAction but I don't know if that would run before or after UserExit or any other final dialog. -----Original Message----- From: Dan Giambalvo [mailto:danie...@microsoft.com] Sent: Friday, October 30, 2009 1:51 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] InstallExecuteSequence modifying Dialogs During our InstallExecuteSequence we decrement an install count for the user via a Custom Action. After that takes place, we want to change the messaging of our Windows Installer UI (Cancel dialog, UserExit dialog, etc) to alert the user to this fact (as it is non-reversable.) I'm having trouble getting the WiX UI to respond to property changes that take place in the InstallExecuteSequence. I want to do something as simple as set a property SHOWWARNING to true in InstallExecute, and show/hide some text on the dialogs based on this. Is this possible? I haven't been able to come up with any way to tweak the dialogs that can appear once InstallExeucte has started. I also am not entirely clear how dialogs like the cancel dialog play into the otherwise nicely segmented world of InstallUI and InstallExecute.
