You would need to replace LicenseAgreementDlg (via copy/change). There are several references in this list to blogs that describe replacing dialogs. -Original Message- From: Martin Maurer [mailto:capiman26061...@gmx.de] Sent: Wednesday, May 26, 2010 12:01 PM To: General discussion for Win

You could try adding a custom action that adds (temporary) rows to the appropriate tables for the built-in actions that setup webservices. Bob called them "semi-custom actions". (http://www.joyofsetup.com/2007/07/01/semi-custom-actions/) Just make sure that you save and/or compute somehow the info

Hello, is there an easy way to change the Text of the button "Next" to "Install", but only in LicenseAgreementDlg ? I think the text is in WixUINext, but how can i change it (in general) ? I read there is a way via "localization", but is it the only way ? I think there is the same Text in Welcom

The action state of a featre is supposedly set after CostFinalize. Trying it out, it seems that checking the action state in the condition of a component, as you've done here, evaluates to -1, "unknown". I would have thought that it would always evaluate to 3, "local", since the INSTALLLEVEL pro
