Hello,
thanks for the advice, but the messagebox was just an example for a more
complex dialog that would be displayed at this moment.
For example:
- LoadLibrary to get a handle
- Call ShowMyC++dialog with the handle.
The main idea is to show a dialog during installation that is also used later
in the programm and so not implement it twice.
The problem is not to show this dialog, but that it is "hidden" behind the
normal MSI GUI.
Best regards,
Tobias

Use MsiProcessMessage to display message boxes, not MessageBox.

Betreff: UI Custom Action displays dialog behing MSI UI
Hello,
I have a WiX installation that shows within a custom action a dialog from a dll
that is installed during this installation. It all works fine, except that the
dialogs appears behind the normal MSI UI.
Here a short example how my custom action looks like (instead of message box, a
real UI appears)
UINT __stdcall MessageBoxAction (MSIHANDLE hInstall)
{
Beep(500,2000);
LPCTSTR lpszText = L"A message box text";
LPCTSTR lpszCaption = L"A message box title";
UINT nType = MB_OK;
MessageBox(NULL,lpszText,lpszCaption,nType);
return ERROR_SUCCESS;
}
Is there a way to display the own UI in foreground?
Cheers,
Tobias
