Re: [WiX-users] Hyperlink in WiX dialogue
Yeah I was running it on XP with Windows Installer Version 4.5. I tested the code on Windows 7 (Windows Installer 5.0). I get the clickable hyperlink on dialogue however when I click on it, it opens an empty browser i.e. nothing in address bar. :( Regards, Aparna Karkare -Original Message- From: Neil Sleightholm [mailto:n...@x2systems.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 2:23 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Re: [WiX-users] Hyperlink in WiX dialogue
Hyperlink control only available in Windows 2008 and Window 7. And the real problem is that MSI simply fails on other systems if dialog has hyperlink.

Re: [WiX-users] Hyperlink in WiX dialogue
Yeah that's right. Its failing if Hyperlink control is there. But even on Windows 7 it doesn't open the link but opens an empty browser with nothing in address bar. Any idea about that?

Hyperlinks in controls are only supported in Windows install 5.0 or later (i.e. Windows 7 - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/windows/desktop/dd407936(v=vs.85).aspx) and there isn't downloadable redist for this. Are you running this on Windows 7? Have you set the InstallerVersion attribute of the Package element to 500?
