I have created custom dialogs in IS 6.x, but I have no clue on how to do it for MSI 2.03.

Do I do it the same way that I did it in IS 6 in DevStudio?  If so, how do I get the MSI program to call it.

I need an answer ASAP.

Thanks.

1.  Go to the Dialogs Section (where it lists all the dialogs), and right click on All Dialogs.  Choose "New Dialog" and go to town.  I usually copy parts from other dialogs (like the title bars and different graphs).  

2.  Once you have it like you want it, copy in the Next > Back < and Cancel buttons from another dialog - make sure to change the (name) Property to Back, Next, and Cancel respectively.

3.  The in the "behavior" section of the dialog make sure each button has a "NewDialog" event with the argument set to the appropriate dialog.  It is just a matter of streaming all the backs, nexts together and the "sequences" section will pick up dialog flow.  Refer to how the default project is set up to see how these guys are strung together.

Hope this helps.
