I have managed to add a custom dialog in the middle of the sequence which collects several values from the user and saves them to the registry (in the dialog with ID ApiKeyDlg).
However, I'm having difficulty (5+ hours wasted) replacing the WelcomeDlg with a custom dialog during major upgrades only. I.E. I want to show a custom WelcomeDlg that goes straight to the VerifyReadyDlg for Major Upgrades (detected using Installed OR PREVFOUND).
I have also tried using WIX_UPGRADE_DETECTED, same results.
What am I doing incorrectly here? Is it my condition that is failing or am I misunderstanding the process of editing the sequence?
Light.exe shows no errors, but it fails to either:
Detect that an older version of the app is already installed
Show the UpgradeWelcomeDlg after detecting an old version installed
I'm not sure how I can narrow down which part is failing?

Ultimately, I want to show completely different dialogs for Major Upgrades compared to an initial install.
Well then... I just managed to get it working using this:
<Publish Dialog="WelcomeDlg" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog" Value="LicenseAgreementDlg">NOT Installed OR NOT PREVFOUND OR NOT WIX_UPGRADE_DETECTED</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="UpgradeWelcomeDlg" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog" Value="VerifyReadyDlg">Installed OR PREVFOUND OR WIX_UPGRADE_DETECTED</Publish>
Perhaps writing this question cleared my mind! Who knows.

I can not make adequate buttons to move normally between windows.
My installer contains 3 windows. If I do "NewDialog" in "Back-button", the windows open once again. And if I do "EndDialog"- the windows disappear.

if I add "SpawnDialog" in "Back button", the windows will appear on top of another window, and I need to have one window. Looked at a lot of forums, but it's hard.
Dialog Order: Please see if this is helpful: Wix, custom dialog when previous version exists.
Dialog Customization: There is this answer on the overall topic of Customizing WiX Dialogs. Perhaps also see Helge Klein's real world sample (Wayback - Archived Version) for dialog changes (ServerDlg.wxs, WixUI_HK.wxs, LicenseAgreementDlg_HK.wxs) and many other nice features. Customizing Built-in WixUI Dialog Sets.
And throwing in this "general WiX quick start tips".
I want to create/append the Application folder name at the end of the Target/installation path.
The default path is "C:\CompanyName\"
In this case also it should install in "C:\CompanyName\AppName"
And if the user changes the path to "C:\Test\" (by browse dialog or by typing in the text box), then installation should happen in the "C:\Test\AppName"
I've referred the Wix UI as "WixUI_InstallDir"
I've also Set the Property Id="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR" Value="APPPATH".
And my all shortcuts should point to the final installation path.

Any help please...
If you don't need to show the folder MyApp in the dialogs, you can do the following:
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="INSTALLFOLDER" Name="CompanyName">
<Directory Id="MyApp" Name="MyApp" />
</Directory>
</Directory>
And in your components replace INSTALLFOLDER with MyApp, this way:
<Component Id="Component_Core" Guid="*" Directory="MyApp">
As a side note, I don't recommend messing up with the dialogs just to show something like "C:\CompanyName\MyApp" or "C:\Temp\MyApp". It is easier if you just show "C:\CompanyName" or "C:\Temp" and install the files to the MyApp folder.
If you still want to show the full text, try something like this (not recommended):
<Property Id="INDIRECT_FOLDER" Value="MyApp" />

Hi i have developed an setup with wix and now i need to ask users wether its AllUser or perUser.After a long research i found that InstallScopeDLg can make it possible.But I have added custom UI with my wix and i wasn't able to add InstallScopeDlg with this custom UI in WIX.
<Publish Dialog="LicenseAgreementDlg" Control="Back" Event="NewDialog" Value="WelcomeDlg">1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="LicenseAgreementDlg" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog" Value="ReadmeDlg" Order="2">LicenseAccepted = "1"</Publish>

and for RadioButtonGroup Property="WixAppFolder" in InstallScopeDlg
i have added in product.wxs file
and am getting the error code as
Error 10 The Windows Installer XML variable
!(wix.WixUISupportPerUser) is unknown. Please ensure the variable is
declared on the command line for light.exe, via a WixVariable element,
or inline using the syntax !(wix.WixUISupportPerUser=some value which
doesn't contain parenthesis).
Hence it we need to initially declare its components under the fragment section in your myinstallscopedlg.wxs

I am packaging a MSI using WIX. The binaries need to be installed on a UNC drive (\share\xxxz\east). The installation works fine, the binaries are installed on the UNC, but I get the following error during uninstallation.
"The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing the package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2343."
What's driving me crazy is why the installation works and the uninstall fails!
Below is what my wix script looks like...

I trigger the install via a cmd file, which looks like...
msiexec.exe /i Ct.IIS.msi ^
TARGET.INSTALLLOCATION="\\share\xxxz\east\" ^
CALCULATION.SERVICE.USERNAME=".\xxx" ^
CALCULATION.SERVICE.PASSWORD="xxx" ^
/l* Ct.IIS.Install.log /q
Any ideas?
The below Custom action is running in Uninstall too. But you won’t pass the TARGET.INSTALLLOCATION property value in uninstall. So this is the issue here.
<Custom Action="**SetInstallLocationRootDirectory**" After="CostFinalize" />
Modify this Custom action to run in Installation only.
<Custom Action="**SetInstallLocationRootDirectory**" After="CostFinalize">Not Installed</Custom>
Is there a simple way to add browse button in Wix. I created a custom by modifying from WixUI_InstallDir.wxs. This browse button is in another dialog (not the same one as for locating the installation path). This browse button will be use to specify the path to put my log files that will be created during installation.
EDIT:
sorry about the confusion on "below code". I intended to show the codes initially but the space on the above reply was limited. Here I've added the codes. I manage to show the Browse dialog now but i need to be able to change the path so that it is not same as the Browse dialog path of the installation path which is _BrowseProperty. My code below is using _LogBrowseProperty but i'm not sure how do i properly define it and at where should i define it. Using the code below will generate 2819 error. Can you help to take a look on what is wrong here? Thanks a lot.
CUSTOMDIR is defined in Product.wxs
<Property Id='CUSTOMDIR' Value="TARGETDIR"></Property>
Below is in MyWixUI_InstallDir.wxs

I was looking for a while at trying to do the same thing and amended the Wix BroseDlg dialog to achieve this.
In the parent control I had the following path edit and push button controls:
<Control Id="LogFilePathValue" Type="PathEdit" X="50" Y="205" Width="215" Height="18" Property="LOGFILE_PATH"/>
<Control Id="LogFilePathButton" Type="PushButton" X="270" Y="205" Width="50" Height="17" Text="!(loc.LogFilePathButton_Text)">
<Publish Property="LOGFILE_PATH_TEMP" Value="[LOGFILE_PATH]" Order="1">1</Publish>
<Publish Event="SpawnDialog" Value="MyLogFileDialog" Order="2">1</Publish>
</Control>
</Control>
MyLogFileDialog then looked like this:
<Dialog Id="MyLogFileDialog" Width="370" Height="270" Title="!(loc.MyLogFileDialog_DialogTitle)">
<Control Id="PathEdit" Type="PathEdit" X="25" Y="202" Width="320" Height="18" Property="LOGFILE_PATH_TEMP" />

</Dialog>
You then have to make sure the property LOGFILE_PATH is set prior to calling this parent form. In my case I'm using my own version of the UI_Mondo so I set the property after the user has selected the install type:
<Publish Dialog="SetupTypeDlg" Control="TypicalButton" Property="LOGFILE_PATH" Value="[COMPONENTINSTALLFOLDER]\Logs" Order="1">1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="SetupTypeDlg" Control="TypicalButton" Event="NewDialog" Value="ParentDialogWithLogLocationControls" Order="2">1</Publish>
Try to examine the WiXUIExtension closer, especially the WixUI_InstallDir.wxs and InstallDirDlg.wxs. See how the controls and dialogs are set up in order to handle directory browsing properly and try to adjust it to your needs.

<Control Id="Folder" Type="PathEdit" X="20" Y="100" Width="320" Height="18" Property="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR" Indirect="yes" />
<Control Id="ChangeFolder" Type="PushButton" X="20" Y="120" Width="56" Height="17" Text="!(loc.InstallDirDlgChange)" />
From WixUI_InstallDir.wxs:
<Publish Dialog="InstallDirDlg" Control="Next" Event="SetTargetPath" Value="[WIXUI_INSTALLDIR]" Order="1">1</Publish>
