IIRC, this has been discussed previously and the answer was the Windows 
Installer UI does not support what you are trying to do.  You'd need to create 
an external UI handler (lots of work).

Subject: [WiX-users] refresh combobox without leaving dialog

Is this possible? If so how do I do it?

 

This is what I'm trying to accomplish.  I have two dialogs, dialog1 and
dialog2.  Dialog1 contains an edit box.  When the use hits the next
button a custom action is run that gets a list of items from the server
named in the edit box.  Dialog2 has two combo boxes.  The first combobox
contains the list retrieved in the custom action that was ran after
hitting next from dialog1.  When the user selects and item from
combobox1 a custom action is ran that gets another list from the server
based off of the value selected in the first combobox.  At this point I
would like the second combo box to contain the new list.  If I leave the
dialog and come back the list show properly, but I need it to show
without leaving the dialog.  I really don't want to separate the two
combo boxes to different dialogs.  Is there any way to make this work?
I thought I have seen this in other installers.
