Hi All,
Please help with the WiX problem described below.
Using VS2010 ultimate, I made an installer with four features based on the WiX
Mondo UI . On installation or removal, a dialog should appear to reguest
additional information if the user selects one or both of two particular
features. So far this works correctly if the user selects a full install or
complete removal. However, if the feature is being installed or removed
(Changed) after an initial install, the dialog does not appear.
I have copied and modified the VerifyReadyDlg to spawn my own dialog when
certain conditions are met. As mentioned before, the action works as expected
for the "Complete" and "Remove" controls. However, nothing happens for the
"Change" control. I have even removed the conditions for my dialog appearing
inside the "Change" control and still the dialog does not appear. It seems as
if the installer NEVER executes this portion of code.
I need help to figure out if a specific feature is being "Changed" during a
custom install. So far I have made use of the !SelectedFeature and
&SelectedFeature to determine the installed state and action state of the
SelectedFeature. I'm not sure this is the problem since it appears that the
"Change" portion of the code is not being executed. Is there a more practical
way to solve my problem? Thanks for any assistance you can give.
Regards,
Chris (WiX newbie). PS. I haveincluded a portion of the modified WiX dialog
