We actually had a bug raised by QA/Dev folks today to change the wordings on the CustomSetup Dialog ;)
"Select the way you want features to be installed" to "Select the features that you want to be installed" And "Click the icons in the tree below to change the way features will be installed" to "Click the icons in the tree below to select the features to be installed." Guess everyone has their own perception of things!! --Pavan -----Original Message----- From: Phil Wilson [mailto:phildgwil...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2014 8:35 AM To: General discussion about the WiX toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to customize error messages in Wix standard bootstrapper application "Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue. To configure or remove the existing version of this product, use Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel" is a standard Windows Installer message telling you that the same ProductCode is already installed It is shown before the MSI has done anything yet, As Rob has said, it comes from Windows and Burn displays it. You can't change it any more than you can change other standard Windows messages. In any case your proposed substitute text is incomplete because "another version" does not necessarily mean "an older version" and if there are options to change features or do a repair from ARP then there is more that can be done than just uninstall (which is why "configure" is a better word). --------------- Phil Wilson On Thu, Oct 16, 2014 at 3:38 AM, DP <dpg_...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Thanks for the response on error code (0x80070666).
