I'm creating msi installer, using wix toolset. I need for user inputs, so l used UI Dialog as in documentation: https://www.firegiant.com/wix/tutorial/user-interface/new-link-in-the-chain/
In the Example shown in the link, I removed CDKeyEdit:
<Control Id="CDKeyEdit" Type="MaskedEdit" X="45" Y="159" Width="250" Height="16" Property="PIDKEY" Text="[PIDTemplate]" />
as it is not necessary for my application.
However, installer is showing that key is not valid during installation:
Is there any way to remove the requirement for the PIDKey?
<Publish Event="ValidateProductID" Value="0">1</Publish>
<Publish Event="SpawnWaitDialog" Value="WaitForCostingDlg">CostingComplete = 1</Publish>
<Publish Event="NewDialog" Value="SetupTypeDlg">ProductID</Publish>
Look for these and remove the first one and change the condition on the last one to empty or 1.
Shameless plug: Check out my open source tool IsWiX. It provides templates and designers to learn and use WiX faster.
