My installer has a dialog that lets the user choose a feature. Based on that choice ADDLOCAL is modified via a custom action.
The problem seems to be that WiX has insufficient granularity with regards to scheduling UI actions. The problem I can't seem to solve is precisely how to schedule this custom action. It seems either one of two things happen with the user's feature selection being ignored in both cases: 1. The action is scheduled too late in which case the original (i.e. before dialog modified) ADDLOCAL is used for the install. 2. The action is scheduled too early in which case the available global value at the time of evaluation is used. I can't seem to hit that spot in the scheduling where a global used to hold the user's feature selection from the dialog can be used via the custom action to update ADDLOCAL. What seems to be needed are elements for the InstallUISequence that have Before and After attributes that can be the IDs of dialogs, i.e. <Custom Action="setADDLOCAL" Before="dialogXYZ"/>. Maybe I'm missing something and ADDLOCAL is not the way to do this, but the recommended alternatives of using conditions in either the features or components don't work because the conditions are evaluated before the feature dialog is run. Suggestions are most welcome. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Got Input? Slashdot Needs You. Take our quick survey online.
