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>
<Publish Dialog="MyInstallScopeDlg" Control="Back" Event="NewDialog" Value="LicenseAgreementDlg">1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="MyInstallScopeDlg" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog" Value="ReadmeDlg" Order="2"></Publish>
<Publish Dialog="ReadmeDlg" Control="Back" Event="NewDialog" Value="LicenseAgreementDlg">1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="ReadmeDlg" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog" Value="CustomizeDlg" Order="2"></Publish>
and this is my InstallScopeDlg code

declared on the command line for light.exe, via a WixVariable element,

Hence it we need to initially declare its components under the fragment section in your myinstallscopedlg.wxs

In my Wix Installer, I am searching for registry key for Adobe acrobat reader and displaying a warning dialog with "YES" and "NO" option. This dialog is supposed to display during the install sequence immediately after WelcomeDlg enabling user to "continue" or "exit" the installation if Adobe reader is not installed.
I am finding an issue in my code as the "AdobePrerequisiteDlg" does not honors the "ADOBEREADERINSTALLED" property, The dialog is getting displayed even when registry key exist.
The warning dialog "AdobePrerequisiteDlg" should only be displayed when Property "ADOBEREADERINSTALLED" is not satisfied (i.e. registry key does not exist),
But as of now that is not happening as I am able to see the dialog getting displayed everytime.
I tried many changes but not able to figure out where the problem exist. Here is my code :

First of all, you need brackets or double NOT for the condition: NOT (Installed AND ADOBEREADERINSTALLED) OR NOT Installed AND NOT ADOBEREADERINSTALLED
And then. Do you see WelcomeDialog when you start your installer? Or AdobePrerequisiteDlg goes first? If second variant, you need to make some changes in your code. Try this:
Add reference to your custom dialog in your custom UI.
UIRef should point at custom UI, not the UI where custom dialog is described.
In your custom UI describe all variants and steps for dialogs. (see example below)
Condition statement should go inside Publish element.
InstallUISequence is not necessary.

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'm creating msi installer, using wix toolset. I need for user inputs, so l used UI Dialog as in documentation: https://www.firegiant.com/wix/tutorial/user-interface/new-link-in-the-chain/
In the Example shown in the link, I removed CDKeyEdit:
<Control Id="CDKeyEdit" Type="MaskedEdit" X="45" Y="159" Width="250" Height="16" Property="PIDKEY" Text="[PIDTemplate]" />
as it is not necessary for my application.
However, installer is showing that key is not valid during installation:
Is there any way to remove the requirement for the PIDKey?
<Publish Event="ValidateProductID" Value="0">1</Publish>
<Publish Event="SpawnWaitDialog" Value="WaitForCostingDlg">CostingComplete = 1</Publish>
<Publish Event="NewDialog" Value="SetupTypeDlg">ProductID</Publish>
Look for these and remove the first one and change the condition on the last one to empty or 1.
Shameless plug: Check out my open source tool IsWiX. It provides templates and designers to learn and use WiX faster.

To include a new custom dialog you simply uncomment one line as shown here:
https://github.com/iswix-llc/iswix-tutorials/blob/master/desktop-application/Installer/DesktopApplication/Code/UI.wxs
The code for the new dialog is shown here:

QA: Please remember to test in all installation modes: install, uninstall, modify, repair, self-repair, patching, major upgrade, etc.... Hard to tell how things can conspire, no substitute for real-world testing (just to state the obvious).

Quick Explanation of Changes: There are only a few things changed.
Take out the actual controls for the CD-Key:
<Control Id="CDKeyLabel" Type="Text" X="45" Y="147" Width="50" Height="10" TabSkip="no">
<Text>CD &Key:</Text>
</Control>
<Control Id="CDKeyEdit" Type="MaskedEdit" X="45" Y="159" Width="250" Height="16" Property="PIDKEY" Text="[PIDTemplate]" />
and remove the associated events for the control:
<Publish Event="ValidateProductID" Value="0">1</Publish>
<Publish Event="SpawnWaitDialog" Value="WaitForCostingDlg">CostingComplete = 1</Publish>
and finally change the ProductID condition to 1 for the Next button on the dialog so that a new dialog is spawned and the key is not validated:
<Publish Event="NewDialog" Value="SetupTypeDlg">1</Publish>
Even though Checkbox is not selected, the msi installs all features. I have AddLocal and remove when Next is clicked. Here is the UI code:
<Control Id="SFCheckBox" Type="CheckBox" X="20" Y="80" Width="290" Height="17" Property="SF_FEATURE" CheckBoxValue="0" Integer="yes" Text="iNetSec Smart Finder Sensor Service will be installed." Default="yes" Disabled="yes" />

The Features in Product is as follows.
I don't know what I am I doing wrong here. Even though I did not select the second checkbox, the "IntegrationFeatures" was installed. When I checked the log file, I see this:
Property(S): ADDLOCAL = IntegrationFeatures,ProductFeature.
Please help.
Thanks,
Ravi
I do not recommend the AddLocal and Remove approach found here for the reasons I listed in the comments which amount to "Install everything and then removing it based on checkbox selection is silly and complicates silent installs".
What you should be doing is adding conditions to your <Feature> nodes like this:
<Feature Id="FeatureA" Level="0">
<Condition Level="1">INSTALLFEATUREA</Condition>
<ComponentGroupRef Id="A_Files" />
</Feature>
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>
