Hi,

We cannot reproduce this behavior on our test machine! The test package you have sent us builds successfully under an administrator account.

Try to reproduce the problem on another computer (under an account similar to yours) and let us know if the problem persists.

Hi,

You can use the dialog editor to create and modify a dialog in a wide variety of ways. Note that you need to create a Enterprise project (which requires an Enterprise license) in order to use the dialog editor!

Modifying XML files is not supported by Windows Installer, but this can be done by using a custom action. This feature is on our TODO list and will be available in a future release. Regards, cosmin
