Yeah that's right. Its failing if Hyperlink control is there. But even on Windows 7 it doesn't open the link but opens an empty browser with nothing in address bar. Any idea about that?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Hyperlink in WiX dialogue Hyperlink control only available in Windows 2008 and Window 7. And the real problem is that MSI simply fails on other systems if dialog has hyperlink.

Subject: [WiX-users] Hyperlink in WiX dialogue Hi, I tried to enter a hyperlink in Welcome Dialogue using below code: <Control Id="TestLink" Type="Hyperlink" X="135" Y="140" Width="220" Height="60"> <Text><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.somesite.com";>linkText</a>]]></Text> </Control> but getting below error after installer starts: (it compiles fine BTW) "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2885." Before I added this control, the installer was installing fine. Can someone please guide how to add hyperlink control to dialogue boxes?
