There is a workaround for this. Create a custom exit dialog and make the checkbox only the size of the tick, then put a label next to it. It works but means that the user needs to click the check area only, the label part doesn't work.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Option checkbox in ExitDialog isn't transparent Sorry, I had searched for WIXUI_EXITDIALOGOPTIONALCHECKBOXTEXT in the bug database, but after posting I searched for "transparent" and found the issue right away (1669640). It's noted that there is no fix, which I understand. I promise that I tried to check that it wasn't already posted, but just not well enough! --Quinton -----Original Message----- From: Quinton Tormanen Sent: Thursday, July 02, 2009 11:06 AM To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.' Subject: Option checkbox in ExitDialog isn't transparent I have a white background for my dlgbmp.bmp resource, like the one that WiX provides by default. I tried using WIXUI_EXITDIALOGOPTIONALCHECKBOXTEXT to allow the user to control whether our application is run at the end of the install. However, the entire checkbox control has a gray background. I see that there isn't a @Transparent="yes" for this control like the others, but then I'm also aware that checkboxes are notorious for not being very easily made transparent in Win32. So, is this a known issue with no good workaround? Or is there a fix that can be made to ExitDialog so that it is transparent? I'm using WiX 3.0.5217.0 on x64 Vista.
