[wix-users] How to get rid of the Welcome dialog in WixUI_InstallDir mode.

[Hoover, Jacob]

Personally,
  I've eliminated all MSI UI's, and I just handle the UI in the BA.  Property drive the MSI and they become super simple.  (Custom BA's are a steep learning curve, but if you can get by with WixStdBA then it's super simple.)

Have you tried doing this

In your product.wxs file in the Product node add this:

<UI>
            <InstallUISequence>
                <Show Dialog="InstallDirDlg" Before="ProgressDlg" Overridable="yes">NOT Installed OR PATCH</Show>
            </InstallUISequence>
</UI>

Maybe that will set that InstallDirDlg as the first dialog to show up instead of the WelcomeDlg.

I have not tried it so it's just a quess.

Hey Sampat,
Thanks for the quick reply.
But the welcomedlg is a part of std toolset library, so even if I download the dialog source code and use it by disabling the UI sequence, I was getting error regarding the duplicate ID "WelcomeDlg"

Other thing I have already tried is to override the behaviour of the standard wlcm dlg in my own CustomWixUI_InstallDir.wxs, the dialog still pops up bcoz of the standard becoz of the standard sequence.

I need to disable it so that it wont pop up anywhere during the installation sequence.

Pls let me know if you have any idea abt this.

Thanks
-Shanky
