Hi, can anyone help me with this?
I've created a small project for some testing. I defined that from MaintenanceWelcome dialog, if you click Next, you get to a dialog that I've created. When I run the setup, it's like nothing happened. I get the "Modify/Remove/etc" dialog, and after that, the custom setup dialog, and so on. When I run it under MSI debugger, everything works! Why is that???? How can I make my changes work in non-debugging mode? Thanks.

Did you uninstall the previous version? Else the cached MSI file would be used instead of the new one. Also remember to always change the package code for each build.

I did not install the previous version. That's the whole point. I need a certain dialog to appear in Maintenance mode.
I kind of missed you there on the package code issue. Why do I need to change it for each build?

Stefan, I had a type'o in the last reply: I meant that I did not UNINSTALL the previous version.
Also, I don't understand why would the cached version run, when I explicitly double-clicked on the newly built .MSI file....

because that's the way Windows Installer works. If Windows Installer finds that it has a msi file with same package code in its cache, it will use that. Uninstall the old version of your msi, then install the new version, then test maintenenace mode.
