Hi All,

I've read many topics about external UI handler using a custom setup.exe application but I was wondering if we can use MsiSetExternalUI from a custom action to just replace only one native MSI dialog with a custom screen. For e.g. I want to use the standard MSI dialogs for everything except the progress bar dialog. Can this be done by calling MsiSetExternalUI() from a CA to show a custom progress dialog and once it finishes, return back to the internal MSI UI? Is this possible?

Thanks for any help.

Sorry, I looked at the documentation again and understand that it is not possible to call MsiSetExternalUI from a CA.
