Installation error when using MSI format

My project functions well when using EXE format to install, but an error message occurs when using MSI format.
The following screenshot is the error message before going to the InstallDlg dialog.
Please help. Thanks!

Re: Installation error when using MSI format

Hi,

Please keep in mind that another than "Classic" theme requires Enhanced User Interface to be enabled which is handled by our EXE Bootstrapper, but not by the MSI package.

So, when in the Themes page you choose a theme that requires Enhanced UI, the package type is automatically turned to EXE in the Media page and it is not recommended to change it to a MSI type.

I'm afraid that you can only create an EXE package when Enhanced UI is required, for the bootstrapper to handle correctly all the dialogs and controls.
