Hi

In my setup project I need a custom dialog box containing a drop down
list box.  Since this is not avaialble from standard user interface
dialog boxes that visual studio supplies, I am using Installer class.
This installer class inturn displays the custom dialog box i need.  but
the problem is this custom dialog box is displayed as a popup window
during installation.  But I want this custom dialog box to be shown as
one of the wizard pages during installation.

Has any one done this before? I know some few setup programs that do
this.  However I am not sure that they used visual studio setup and
deployment project to create their setup programs.

Thanks
Gancy

IMO VS deployment project doesn't have an ability to create custom dialogs.
To resolve you can do the following:
- patch obtained msi file. msi file is merely a database, so values can be added to it.
  Manually it can be done with Orca ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/255905/EN-US/ ).
  From code it can be done from Windows Installer API
  ( http://helpnet.installshield.com/robo/projects/devstudio9helplangref/LangrefMsiApis.htm )
- use another tool to build setup projects, e.g. WiX ( http://wix.sourceforge.net )
