Bummer.  I was afraid of this.  I ended up making the installer window
a little bit wider (width=400) and this seems to be a reasonable
workaround in the absence of using a fixed-width font.  Thanks for
your response!

MSI doesn't support that, though you can probably come close using a 
fixed-width font.

[WiX-users] Question about product keys (PIDTemplate) and length of text box

2009-10-20 Thread kerberos
Hello,

My license key generation software (based on how I'm seeding it)
generates a 46 character -- that's 40 characters for key plus 6
characters for dashes -- license key.

As part of the installation of my software I'd like people to enter
the license key that they've been given.  Unfortunately I can't find
how WIX would allow me to format the *width* of each text box so that
it fits my license key WITHOUT any extra characters.  There's extra
padding of 3-4 characters at the end of each text box and this means
that in spite of my orientation of the product key entry on my
installer, 1-2 of the text boxes for the last 10 characters of the
product key will go off the screen.  If I was able to format the width
of each text box, I should be able to get around this extra padding
and this would mean my product key entry would no longer go off the
page.

Does anyone here know of how I might be able to change the width of a
text box in WIX for my product key?
