help. The simplest fix is to upgrade to WiX 3.5.

Subject: [WiX-users] Working around the CostingComplete bug



To work around the bug where in Windows Installer 4.5 where CostingComplete 
does not get set, is it
OK to just remove the SpawnWaitDialog call from the Welcome dialog's 'Next' 
button?  I've seen a
number of suggestions to do this as a fix, including a comment on a changeset 
for WiX.  Specifically
this:
BobArnso: Default WixUICostingPopupOptOut to 1, to avoid the CostingComplete 
MSI bug. Opt in to the
costing dialog by setting WixUICostingPopupOptOut to 0.

My question is, is that all that needs to be done?  Is there some other 
compensating action that
needs to be addde?  What is the effect of potentially trying to continue with 
the installation if
this action is still running?  Does it just pause while the action completes?  
The issue is very
intermittent, so confirming a fix is near impossible.

Thanks,
Rob
