Hi,
I want to implement below Wix UI Dialog to implement below feature : 1.It will check the registry and display prerequisite list and links to download them 2. Once it finds all the preruisites are installed then will allow user to proceed further by clicking next. Please help. Thanks, Sankha -----Original Message----- From: JK E-Lists [mailto:[hidden email]] Sent: Wednesday, October 28, 2009 11:07 AM To: [hidden email] Subject: [WiX-users] Heat and .exe COM objects I have an old out-of-process COM object that is wrapped in an EXE. It uses the /regserver and /unregserver command line parameters to register and unregister the COM object. Heat appears to treat this as an ordinary executable, ignoring the fact that it's a COM object. Can Heat extract the COM information, or do I just need to do it manually? Thanks a lot! jk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!

Normally that is what we use bootstappers for. UI in Windows Installer can
be bypassed, and it runs non-elevated anyway (unless the MSI APIs were called from already elevated code) and most prerequisites people would want would probably require elevation to run, resulting in multiple prompts for elevation which is considered by most to be a bad user experience. -----Original Message----- From: Sankha Biswas (Extended Results Inc) [mailto:[hidden email]] Sent: Wednesday, October 28, 2009 2:20 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Hi Blair,
I just want to display the required prerequisite and the urls to download them in a UI. I don't want to automatically install them. I just want to build a custom Dialog similar to SQL Server which will display the status. Then if users install and click on a refresh button it should again check and enable next button. Can you please provide an example or sample for how to check the status for predefined set of required softwares and display a status in a custom dialog. I appreciate your help.

I assume that the dialog would contain a listbox and a custom action of your
writing would populate it. There have been discussions on this list regarding using custom actions to populate listboxes, as well as dialog refresh issues. -----Original Message----- From: Sankha Biswas (Extended Results Inc) [mailto:[hidden email]] Sent: Wednesday, October 28, 2009 10:01 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

One that continued into this week has the subject (whitespace varies) of
"[WiX-users] How to populate a list box in a msi dialog duringruntime" -- thread started by Uma Harano [mailto:[hidden email]] on Oct 12th.
