IMHO, MSI UI is dead. There is very little that we can do outside of the
Windows Installer to make packages look better than they did 1997.
Burn, with its External UI handler, is where I'll be focusing my efforts. We
can be far more successful there.
You are, of course, welcome to try do well
I have put some thought into it, but don't have anything concrete yet. I
have always felt that those using the MSI UI have always had limited/poor
options when it comes to authoring, and the syntax doesn't provide a lot of
help.
I'm sure anything comprehensive will of necessity become a v4

reasonable white area on the left side with the blue logo part on the right
side equating to a starting point at around 55% (from left).
A range of forms have text run into

The width and height is defined on the Dialog element of the form. The
To me, that pretty much defeats the purpose of wrapping the UI up into a nice
extension. I wish WiX had another mechanism to inherit / extend / transform /
override the Mondo experience other then ditching the reference and using the
source.
