在退出对话框中添加一个复选框来启动应用程序或帮助文件。

如果这样做，“标准”外观就不太正确。复选框总是灰色背景，而对话框是白色的:

解决这个问题的一种方法是指定您自己的自定义ExitDialog，使用一个位置不同的复选框。这是可行的，但似乎很多工作只是改变一个控件的颜色。另一种解决相同问题的方法是对生成的MSI进行后处理，以更改控制表中特定CheckBox控件的X,Y字段。javascript代码如下所示:
var msiOpenDatabaseModeTransact = 1;
var filespec = WScript.Arguments(0);
var installer = new ActiveXObject("WindowsInstaller.Installer");
var database = installer.OpenDatabase(filespec, msiOpenDatabaseModeTransact);
var sql = "UPDATE `Control` SET `Control`.`Height` = '18', `Control`.`Width` = '170'," +
" `Control`.`Y`='243', `Control`.`X`='10' " +
"WHERE `Control`.`Dialog_`='ExitDialog' AND " +
" `Control`.`Control`='OptionalCheckBox'";
var view = database.OpenView(sql);
view.Execute();
view.Close();
database.Commit();
在MSI生成后(从light.exe)运行这段代码作为命令行脚本(使用cscript.exe)将产生一个看起来更专业的ExitDialog:

修改“准备好安装了吗?”对话框(又名VerifyReadyDlg)，以提供所做选择的摘要。

用Javascript CustomAction来做这个:

声明Javascript CA:
<Fragment>
<Binary Id="IisScript_CA" SourceFile="CustomActions.js" />
<CustomAction Id="CA.UpdateReadyDialog"
BinaryKey="IisScript_CA"
JScriptCall="UpdateReadyDialog_CA"
Execute="immediate"
Return="check" />
</Fragment>
将CA连接到按钮上。在这个例子中，当从CustomizeDlg中单击Next时，CA将被触发:
<UI ...>
<Publish Dialog="CustomizeDlg" Control="Next" Event="DoAction"
Value="CA.UpdateReadyDialog" Order="1"/>
</UI>
相关SO问题:如何设置，在运行时，文本将显示在VerifyReadyDlg?
设置DISABLEADVTSHORTCUTS属性，强制安装程序中所有发布的快捷方式成为常规快捷方式，并且不需要包括一个虚拟的reg键作为小键盘。
<Property Id="DISABLEADVTSHORTCUTS" Value="1"/>
我认为Windows Installer 4.0或更高版本是必需的。
使用Javascript的CustomActions，因为它们非常简单
人们说Javascript是错误的东西用于MSI CustomActions。给出的原因:难以调试，难以使其可靠。我不同意。调试它并不难，当然不比c++难。就是不一样。我发现用Javascript写CustomActions超级简单，比用c++简单多了。快得多。而且同样可靠。
只有一个缺点:Javascript CustomActions可以通过Orca提取，而C/ c++ CA则需要逆向工程。如果您认为您的安装程序魔法是受保护的知识产权，那么您将希望避免使用脚本。
如果你使用脚本， 你只需要从一些结构开始。这里有一些让你开始。

// Run a command via cmd.exe from within the MSI
function RunCmd(command)

var wshell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var tmpdir = fso.GetSpecialFolder(SpecialFolders.TemporaryFolder);
var tmpFileName = fso.BuildPath(tmpdir, fso.GetTempName());
LogMessage("shell.Run("+command+")");
// use cmd.exe to redirect the output
var rc = wshell.Run("%comspec% /c " + command + "> " + tmpFileName, WindowStyle.Hidden, true);

textStream.Close();
}
if (deleteOutput) {
fso.DeleteFile(tmpFileName);
}
return {
rc : rc,
outputfile : (deleteOutput) ? null : tmpFileName
};
}
然后，像这样注册自定义动作:
<Fragment>
<Binary Id="IisScript_CA" SourceFile="CustomActions.js" />
<CustomAction Id="CA.MyCustomAction"
BinaryKey="IisScript_CA"
JScriptCall="MyCustomActionInJavascript_CA"
Execute="immediate"
Return="check" />
</Fragmemt>
当然，您可以为多个自定义操作插入任意数量的Javascript函数。举个例子:我使用Javascript在IIS上进行WMI查询，以获得现有网站的列表，可以安装ISAPI过滤器。然后，该列表用于填充UI序列中稍后显示的列表框。一切都很简单。
在IIS7上，IIS没有WMI提供程序，因此我使用shell.Run()方法调用appcmd.exe来执行工作。一件容易的事。

修复ProgressDlg，使其正确显示。
我将安装程序的字体大小从8增加到10，以使字体在高分辨率显示器上更人性化、更实用。我用这个XML魔法做到这一点:
<UI Id="MyCustomUI">
<TextStyle Id="WixUI_Font_Normal" FaceName="Tahoma" Size="10" />
<TextStyle Id="WixUI_Font_Big" FaceName="Tahoma" Size="12" />
<TextStyle Id="WixUI_Font_Bigger" FaceName="Tahoma" Size="14" />
<TextStyle Id="WixUI_Font_Title" FaceName="Tahoma" Size="12" Bold="yes" />
<Property Id="DefaultUIFont" Value="WixUI_Font_Normal" />
</UI>
但这意味着ProgressDlg将无法正常显示。这是一个显示安装进度的程序，就在最后。ActionText被剪切，因此g和j等字母的下移不显示。在后处理Javascript中，通过调整Progressdialog中各种控件的大小和位置来解决这个问题。生成MSI后运行这个脚本:
var msiOpenDatabaseModeTransact = 1;
var filespec = WScript.Arguments(0);
var installer = new ActiveXObject("WindowsInstaller.Installer");
var database = installer.OpenDatabase(filespec, msiOpenDatabaseModeTransact);
// The text on the exit dialog is too close to the title. This
// step moves the text down from Y=70 to Y=90, about one line.
sql = "UPDATE `Control` SET `Control`.`Y` = '90' " +
"WHERE `Control`.`Dialog_`='ExitDialog' AND `Control`.`Control`='Description'";
view = database.OpenView(sql);
view.Execute();
view.Close();
// The progressbar is too close to the status text on the Progress dialog.
// This step moves the progressbar down from Y=115 to Y=118, about 1/3 line.
sql = "UPDATE `Control` SET `Control`.`Y` = '118' " +
"WHERE `Control`.`Dialog_`='ProgressDlg' AND `Control`.`Control`='ProgressBar'";
view = database.OpenView(sql);
view.Execute();
view.Close();
// The StatusLabel and ActionText controls are too short on the Progress dialog,
// which means the bottom of the text is cut off. This step
// increases the height from 10 to 16.
sql = "UPDATE `Control` SET `Control`.`Height` = '16' " +
"WHERE `Control`.`Dialog_`='ProgressDlg' AND `Control`.`Control`='StatusLabel'";
view = database.OpenView(sql);
view.Execute();
view.Close();
sql = "UPDATE `Control` SET `Control`.`Height` = '16' " +
"WHERE `Control`.`Dialog_`='ProgressDlg' AND `Control`.`Control`='ActionText'";
view = database.OpenView(sql);
view.Execute();
view.Close();
database.Commit();
