I have VisualStudio delployment dialog (.wid) files that captures activation key and validates in order to continue installation. Is there a way that I could import these .wid files into InstallShield BasicMSI project.

No, I don't think you can import .wid files. You can use InstallShield's dialog editor to build a dialog, and use a custom action to call a key verification function in a DLL.

Thank you Stefan. That's what I thought. Now, I have to duplicate the same dialog here in InstallShield.
How about having an MSI Installer setup using these .wid files and call from within InstallShield project as a pre-requite to enable these dialogs in InstallShield Setup? Please advice.
Thanks.

You could call a DLL which would display a dialog if that's what you want.
