You're talking about the launch condition (the one with a condition of NOT NEWERVERSIONDETECTED), right? That isn't a type 19 custom action.
LaunchConditions by default are sequenced at 100. WelcomeDlg defaults to being sequenced at 1298 (IIRC). There are no type 19 custom actions in the snippets of code you supplied. A type 19 CA would look like this: <CustomAction ... Error='...' ... /> And would need to be scheduled in a sequence table. Having said that, I don't know why a launch condition failure would show up over the top of the welcome dialog. -----Original Message----- From: Dan Vasilov [mailto:d...@rms.ro] Sent: Friday, October 09, 2009 4:38 AM To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.'

The conditions are properly checked, however the error message is displayed over the "Welcome" dialog. We've tried to edit the UISequence and show the Welcome dialog only when the specified conditions are met, however the error message is still displayed after the Welcome dialog is shown. Do you have a suggestion where to look for a solution? Dan ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Come build with us!
