You can call a function in a DLL as custom action.
That function might display a dialog.
Where exactly is your problem: Creating a DLL? Creating and storing a dialog in a DLL? Handling dialog control messages in a DLL? Exporting the function from the DLL? Calling the function from your setup? Passing data between your setup and the DLL?

As I am replying, this post has been viewed 111 times with no response. I am trying to do exactly this, but am having trouble creating the dialog in the function of the DLL. I can do it using an EXE, but this fails when using a DLL. Can anyone provide some sort of example?
Thanks so much.

I would like to show the Dialog from the custom action. I guess i must be using the CreateDialog() API but thats the farthest I know . Can somebody give me the code to illustrate this? I tried using MFC and CDialog but faced a monumental failure.
Any help would be appreciated.
