Hi Blair, My apologies for not replying.
Thankyou for this, I believe having external files for the license makes things a lot simpler, and its easier to implement too!

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] License Agreement It's possible that whitespace isn't being preserved when parsing the content of the Text element. I don't know if adding xml:preserve attributes (or some other xml: attribute) will fix that or not. IIRC what some of us have done for localizing license agreements UI is to do the following: layout the localized RTF files in some consistent fashion in the filesystem, and use either a "WixVariable" or a localization variable to supply the variable part of the path to the files. Something like this: <Text SourceFile="$(var.RTF.Folders)!(loc.RTF.Foldername)\license.rtf" /> Or <Text SourceFile="$(var.RTF.Folder)!(loc.RTF.File)" /> -----Original Message----- From: David Amey [mailto:da...@creative-engine.co.uk] Sent: Friday, October 15, 2010 2:39 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] License Agreement Thanks for this Blair, Made it much easier to replace the standard dialog. I am still having an issue though I'm afraid. Basically I'm using a localised string to populate the scrollable text. However the text doesn't appear when running the msi. Here is the control snippet: <Control Id="TextArea" Type="ScrollableText" X="5" Y="50" Width="360" Height="130" Sunken="yes" TabSkip="no"> <Text>!(loc.License_Agreement)</Text> </Control> I found an example in the tutorial, so I applied the following: <Control Id="TextArea" Type="ScrollableText" X="5" Y="50" Width="360" Height="130" Sunken="yes" TabSkip="no"> <Text>{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deftab720 {\fonttbl{\f0\froman\fprq2 Times New Roman;}} {\colortbl\red0\green0\blue0;} \deflang1033\horzdoc{\*\fchars }{\*\lchars } \pard\plain\f0\fs20 !(loc.License_Agreement)\par }</Text> </Control> This makes the text appear when running the msi, but all the text is squashed together, and loses line breaks enter in the localisation file. I understand the font application from the code above, but not sure what the rest is doing... If anyone can shed some light on this I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks again!

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] License Agreement Follow the recommendations elsewhere on how to replace/alter a dialog provided by the toolset, copying the license dialog, and remove the SourceFile attribute of the Text element that is the child of the "ScrollableText" type-control, and make the text of the Text element be your literal RTF. -----Original Message----- From: David Amey [mailto:da...@creative-engine.co.uk] Sent: Tuesday, October 12, 2010 1:54 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] License Agreement Hi everybody, Was wondering if there is a way to populate the standard 'license Agreement' dialog with a string in a 'wxl' file, instead of the rtf?
