I want to replace the WelcomeDlg dialog with my own, so that I can control the text displayed. I want to show a different text when upgrading (as compared to a fresh install). I also want to replace the VerifyReadyDlg and ExitDlg with my own for the same reason. I have seen some posts describing what to do for the welcome dialog. I can add my own welcome dialog, but I cannot get rid of the original welcome dialog. I want to override it so that it only shows when not upgrading, but I cannot. If I specify something like <InstallUISequence> <FindRelatedProducts Before="LaunchConditions"/> <Show Dialog="WelcomeDlg" Before="ProgressDlg">NOT PREVIOUSFOUND</Show> </InstallUISequence> I get the compile error Error 2 The InstallUISequence table contains an action 'WelcomeDlg' that is declared in two different locations. Please remove one of the actions or set the Overridable='yes' attribute on one of their elements. If I set the Overridable attribute in the code above, it compiles, but I get the original behaviour. In Orca, I can see that the condition for the WelcomeDlg is 'NOT Installed'. If I edit the .msi with Orca and change the condition to 'NOT PREVIOUSFOUND', it works, but of course I don't want to do that. I assume that the default WelcomeDlg is defined in the compiled WixUIExtension. So is the solution not to use WixUIExtension and define my own sequence entirely? Any tips?
