Problem With Dragging From Source Files TO Destination Files Quadrant about iswix HOT 4 CLOSED

I've attempted to reproduce your problem by creating a directory structure similiar to your concern but unfortuntaly I'm not experiencing your issue. I'd suggest creating a video and/or clicking on the destination folder to ensure it is the selected target.

I'd also note that you may wish to drag your source folder down and rename it to website or drag all the files down into website and all the subfolders into website. Alternatively you can name the folder whatever you like and update the IIS Components wxs accordingly.

Hi, i am not sure what happened but on the next restart of my machine the drag feature was working as expected. I will aslo take note of the suggestion you have given i didnt know you could that. Also maybe have you had plans to add custom actions integrated with the UI. Lets say i want to have a custom action where a user has to input a valid activation/product key to continue with the installation. Thanks for the great library once more

Custom Actions are an advanced skill and can end very poorly if not implemented correctly. This is why I never added anything to the project templates for them. It'd be pretty easy to do what you suggest in combination with the CustomUI dialog but here's the problem: MSI is intentionally open and transformable. It would be trivial to modify the MSI and bypass the license check. It's for this reason I typically advise customers to do that kind of validation in their application code. That and I don't want to open myself to liability. DRM is a very, very advanced and complicated skill.

Ooo okay i see totally makes sense. But thanks again for the amazing tool !!... Also on a totally unrelated question how can i pass parameters that are keyed in during installation. I am using the IISMeta.wxs to register my IIS websites. I have a requirement that all my webistes should have a hostname. So i also have an install sequence that runs a .bat script to go and the entries in me etc/hosts file. here is a sample

i would like to make the header section dynamic and let it come from user input when installing is it something complicated? possible? Currently the hostnames/headers are hardcoded i would like as the user is installing lets say maybe there is UIDialog to accept the hostnames from the user and the values to be used
