But it's irrelevant to the discussion, because both ways involve inserting a new dialog after installation and before exit. What I have in that dialog - a checkbox or a full RTF window - is easy to change.

It was probably a bad choice of words on my part. I was not considering replacing all UI (the "UI library"), just the "UI set" (the WiXUI_FeatureTree file). Of course I'll reuse as many of the original dialogs as I can. > Also a lot of the stuff you've asked in the last week would've been > answered by a perusal through the manual and/or tutorial. > My first thread was intended to give me an idea if WiX is even the right tool for my needs. I didn't want to read through all the docs just to figure out I was in the wrong place. I'm sorry - I was lazy. In my second thread (this one) I was basically asking if I can insert a dialog before Exit without replacing WiXUI_FeatureTree. The tutorials don't cover that - they only cover the regular sequence of dialogs that are connected by Back/Next buttons. Yes, that's easy, but not what I need. I was also asking how to get better integration with the Restart Manager. The tutorials also don't cover this topic. It is true that both threads strayed a bit off-topic, and I'll be more careful about that in the future.
