Since you're going to be launching your survey, go against the url of the survey and check whether you can download a page from there. dB. @ dblock.org Moscow|Geneva|Seattle|New York -----Original Message----- From: Kristoffer Danielsson [mailto:kristoffer.daniels...@live.se] Sent: Monday, March 22, 2010 12:11 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Detect an internet connection Not sure, but I guess you have to write a custom action DLL that does some tricks. Also note that checking for an internet connection is not as easy as it sounds. The APIs provided by Windows are not 100% reliable, so most of the time pinging a remote server (google.com for instance) proves to be the best solution.
