Please, how are dialog boxes created in a visual studio setup project.(VS2008)? There is this setup project I am working on. I added custom actions via a custom action DLL.

Really my intention is to create a set up project that can install one or more that one executable depending on the users choice(like Microsoft office). I intend to use MsiInstallProduct function. I have written the DLL but need o make a dialog box consisting of several check boxes with which users can select one or more choices. I need to wire the dialog box to the custom action DLL but do not know how to do it. Generally, how does one use custom dialog boxes to control installation in a setup project. I made one but could not use it to influence setup.

How does one wire up a dialog box selection or event to custom action DLL's?

Here is an article that explains how to do this:

Extending Visual Studio Setup Project[^]

As I Googled this topic for you, I learned that Microsoft has dropped the installer in VS. They now recommend that you use Install Shield or WIX[^]
