Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to request live id credentials from the user
during installation. Here is what I'm thinking:

1. Use some custom UI to show a simple message to enter the live id and
password with Login and Cancel buttons. This will be executed in
InstallUISequence.
2. Save the login and password in two secure public properties.
3. A custom action in InstallExecuteSequence would take these properties and
submit them to the live service for authentication.
My assumptions for the above process are:

1. Putting up a custom UI to request for credentials should be simple,
something similar to this -
http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/WixUI_customizations.htm
2. Secure public property is the best approach to securing the password
unless WIX has something better to offer for saving passwords.
3. It is possible to save data from the UI into some wix properties for
login and password.


Could someone review this and let me know if I'm missing anything?

Thanks,
Pratap.
