This is clearly another noob question, and I apologize in advance...(I looked around for the answer, really, but I couldn't find any other dumb questions like this)...
I'd like to execute a custom action when a dialog is entered. My custom action is a function in a DLL - to initialize a particular variable. Must I do this on a "control", like "next", on the previous dialog? Or can I cause it to get executed before the current dialog displays? My custom action is (incorrectly) defined like this in a fragment/UI called "MyAction": <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> <Fragment> <CustomAction Id="MyAction" BinaryKey="InstallDLL" DllEntry="CheckMyAction"/> <UI> <Publish Dialog="MyDlg" Event="DoAction" Value="MyAction" Order="1">1</Publish> <Dialog Id="MyDlg" Width="370" Height="270" Title="[ProductName] Pre-Installation Requirements"> <blah blah> The compiler flags this as an error because it needs to be associated with a control: "error CNDL0010: The Publish/@Control attribute was not found; it is required." What is the right way to do this?
