Please disregard this. I think I have figured out how all the pieces fit together now :)

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] MsiProcessMessage - Display MessageBox from the Next button on a dialog Thanks! The Spawn dialog is working nicely - Is it possible to populate the Error table in the MSI and have a UI error message show up using this entry in the Error table? Right now, I am creating a little Dialog and adding text to it as text controls. Ideally, I would like this error dialog to use the error entry in the Error table. Can someone please give me some pointer as to how I can accomplish this? Thanks!

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] MsiProcessMessage - Display MessageBox from the Next button on a dialog Per the documenation for DoAction http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368322(VS.85).aspx as well as a comment on the MsiProcessMessage MSDN page, this won't work. I think the recommended way would be to create and show a dialog with a SpawnDialog control event instead.
