Hello, The native windows installer has support for a gui, but Wine's msi doesn't (yet). I had a look at this, and it seems that there are already some functions in dlls/msi/dialog.c which are for GUI handling. I had a look at the msi documentation in the MSDN. It appears to me that most dialogs are implemented in the msi file.
Well, I tried to implement the PreActionDialog ACTION. I had no problem in adding a new function for that action. According to my observations, I have to call msi_dialog_create with the name of the dialog I want to create.
Is there any reference about the dialogs' names? Do I have to write those dialogs(create the GUI), or is this done by the code in the .msi file?
Thanks for your help, Stefan

Hi Stefan,
I have a patch that makes the dialogs work. I'll try send it to wine-patches later today.
