Password controls are unstyled

I'm adding a custom page to the installation wizard, and I need a password control. However, the password control appears unstyled/sunken (see attached screenshot). I verified that the control has the expected attributes in the control table:

2097155 = 0x200003
Visible | Enabled | Password

Any idea why the styling is incorrect?

Re: Password controls are unstyled

Hello,

Indeed, this is the behaviour of Windows Installer. When the password attribute is set, the control seems unstyled.

In order to overcome this, you can enable the Enhanced User Interface. Please note that the package will be set as an .EXE package type when the Enhanced User Interface will be enabled.

If there is anything else I can help you with, please let me know.

Best regards,
Dan
