You don't show the code where you push the button that tests the connection.

I took WixUI_Mondo.wxs and renamed it as well as modified it to include a dialog for checking a database connection. Below is a snippet of my modified WixUI_Mondo.wxs: <Publish Dialog="CheckDbConnectionDlg" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog" Value=VerifyReadyDlg">1</Publish> <Publish Dialog="CheckDbConnectionDlg" Control="Back" Event="NewDialog" Value=WelcomeDlg">2</Publish> Now within my CheckDbConnectionDlg.wxs I have a Next button that I'm trying to control it's Enabled state via a property I set within a CustomAction. Below is a snippet of my CheckDbConnectionDlg.wxs with the Next button I'm trying to control. <Control Id="Next" Type="PushButton" X="236" Y="243" Width="56" Height="17" Text="Next"> <Condition Action="disable"> <![CDATA[CONTINUE <> "True]]> </Condition> <Condition Action="enable"> CONTINUE ="True" </Condition> </Control> Here is my custom action where I'm setting the property: [CustomAction] public static ActionResult TestSqlConnection(Session testSession) { ... ... ... //If the connection is successful testSession["CONTINUE"] = "True"; // Else set the session to False testSession["CONTINUE"] = "False"; } And my Product.wxs <UIRef Id="WixUI_CustomUI" /> <Binary Id="SqlCustomAction" SourceFile="SqlCustomAction.CA.dll" /> <CustomAction Id=CA_testSqlConnection" BinaryKey="SqlCustomAction" DllEntry="TestSqlConnection" Execute="immediate" Return="check" /> <InstallUISequence> <Custom Action="CA_testSqlConnection" After="ExecuteAction" /> </InstallUISequence> What happens is that when I get to the CheckDbConnectionDlg the Next button is disabled as I want it to be, on that dialog I have a button that tests a connection to a database and if it's good, I want the Next button to be enabled so installation can proceed; otherwise, I want it to stay disabled. If the connection succeeds it's not enabling the Next button, but it does if I click Back and then Next. Can someone tell me how to correct this? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!
