Afraid that is a bug in windows installer (not WiX) as it doesn't set the transparent windows style. There are ways around it; I created my own dialog and used a checkbox and separate label, not perfect but not so ugly. I have also seen examples with a grey background bitmap.

There's a bug report about the check box background "ExitDialog::OptionalCheckBox needs transparent background" here: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail <https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=1700010&group_id=105970&at id=642714> &aid=1700010&group_id=105970&atid=642714 . but that's closed as won't fix. Is what I'm seeing the same issue, or some other known issue?
