The project variable approach (i.e. $(var.ProjectName.TargetDir) only seems
to work if the projects are in the same solution. I have two solutions, the
installer project in one and the DB project in the other. I've come up with
a workaround by making a special case for the build server, but I was
Here's what I'm trying to do: I have two solutions - one for my main
application and its associated projects and another for my database (VS
.dbproj) and its associated projects. What I'd like to do is include the

installer
IISMAJORVERSION >= "#6" should work. If not,
(IISMAJORVERSION="#6" OR IISMAJORVERSION="#7") definitely works.

I use the following to show an error message from my C# custom actions:
Record record = new Record();
record.FormatString = "My Error";
session.Message(InstallMessage.Error |

(InstallMessage)System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxButtons.OK,
Thank you so much Peter, that indeed was the problem. AspDllPath wasn't
getting set properly because I had a condition on the SetProperty element
for AspDllPath:
IISMAJORVERSION="#6" AND &ConfigureIIS=3
During a repair, feature states don't seem to get set. I think if I put "OR

The WiX tutorial has a section that details how to do this:
http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson3.php#3.3
If you're not comfortable with C++ custom actions, keep following the
tutor
Oh I just came up with an idea - have you tried scheduling a custom action
directly after your PrepareDlg that sleeps for a few seconds? I used this
and it seemed to work:
Product.wxs:
1
CustomAction.cs:
using System;
using Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller;
namespace ManagedCA
{
Oh, if you just use the source from WiX's PrepareDlg and use your own custom
strings, then shouldn't it be identical? Sorry I haven't provided exactly
what you're looking for, just trying to give back to the WiX community by
helping out :)

Is this what you are looking foror, or do you want the version with the
actual text on it? http://www.wixwiki.com/index.php?title=PrepareDlg
I can get a screenshot of it for you if that link isn't good enough.

Why not just take a screenshot the moment the dialog pops up? If you've never
done it before, hit the PrtScn button on your keyboard to take the
screenshot and then press Ctrl-V in any program that accepts images (MS
Paint does the job).

Thanks for the reply Thorsten but I'm asking about showing a progress dialog
*before* the installer reaches the InstallExecuteSequence. The "test
database connection" custom action I have runs when the user clicks a button
in the UI, so what you have posted will not work.

Let me clarify, it doesn't even need to be a progress dialog - just a
"Loading..." popup.

Hi all,
Does anyone know how to show a "Loading..." popup while a custom action is
executing during the InstallUISequence?
I have a managed custom action that tests if the database connection string
a user has entered is valid (i.e. a "Test Connection" button). Sometimes, if

This has been answered before but I use the following (default script maps

Ugh, sorry for the spam, but I just realized another mistake - should be . Make sure you include the
