Hi, Guys,

I'm new to WiX, and I don't know how to do that,

just like when user has complete uninstall, pop up a dialog, saying
"Foobar 1.0 has been successfully uninstalled".

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks

No, just an observation that 2.0 was pretty much hopeless, but with 3.0, you
have options.

You can develop a custom action, make a call to Windows, whack together some
logging workaround, or ask Rob Mensching, he'll know. :-)

Thanks Mike for you suggestions, I tried, but still meet some
problems.

In My dll function, I use ::MessageBox.Show() to pop up a message box.
and system("notepad.exe") to pop up a notepad window. Then in
InstallExecuteSequence
i added the action before InstallFinalize. The weird thing is I saw my
message box and notepad window during installation, but I didn't see
them in uninstallation. I tried that using uninstall in Add/Remove
Program window and command line mode with full UI option. The result
are the same. But strangely, In the log file, I saw my action invoked
both in installation and uninstallation.

By the way, I found another way of implement this, but there is a
little problem. I can add a show element in InstallUISequence, and I
saw that dialog during uninstallation. The only things is I have to
uninstall in command line mode where I can choose full UI mode.
Default action in Add\Remove Program window seems to be base UI, which
would skip entire InstallUISequence.

I get it, I use the wrong attribute for custom action. When I change
my CustomAction definition 's Execute="commit" to Execute="immediate",
then I saw my messagebox show up.

Now my problem is half solved. Use custom action, I can show up a
Dialog even in baseUI mode.

The remaining question is should I use a custom action to show the
window, or Use a show element in InstallUISequence to bring up a
dialog. Using Wix Dialog feels more consistent with Installatino
Dialogs. But there is a baseUI problem. In the other hand, If i use
custom action in dll, I must use a certain language, while I could use
wxl to locolize text in my ExitDialog if using wix dialog.
