Hi James.
Thanks. I have a few more questions. I would like to create some dialogs,
how do you normally create these? With orca, VS.NET, nant xml or other
software? I guess there exists no Visio -> MSI dialog converter. Basicly
I need to retrieve information from the user and write some .config files.
I use MySQL for the database and would like for the installer to query
MySQL for existing databases and allow the user to select one of these
or create a new one. This means I need to fill a drop-down box with the
available databases from my custom action. How do I do this?
I know I can get the parameters in the custom action using:
public override void Install(System.Collections.IDictionary stateSaver)
{
base.Install(stateSaver);
string ParamA = this.Context.Parameters["ParamA"];
}
but not how to manipulate GUI elements from the custom action.
