[wix-users] Add a checkbox in "InstallDir" Dialog

[snr]

Hi Vladimir,

Thanks a lot for pointing me to the Source location of WIX dialogs. I have
successfully added a checkbox by following the information provided by you
and the below link.

I am providing an option to the users to keep/uninstall previous versions
using this checkbox in my installer.

Regards,
Satya
