How can I add standard Feature dialog in custom set of standard UI dialogs

[abskulkarni]

Hi @oleg-shilo
I am using WixSharp v3. I am using project.UI = WUI.WixUI_FeatureTree; for my MSI execution.

My main requirement is to add custom labels (to display product version & release values) on welcome screen. But with FeatureTree option, I get standard welcome screen & I cannot customize welcome screen to have custom label & values.

So, I tried to use custom welcome dialog where I can put labels. For that, I have to use project.ManagedUI.InstallDialogs.Add option to add all custom /WixSharp dialogs. There I get Dialogs.Feature dialog which I don't want. I want standard Features screen instead.

So, my questions are in below order of priority to be resolved. Can you please help me in resolving it.

1. How can I set custom banner and background image on custom dialog? Images are there in folders of Wix project. I need to refer them while loading custom dialog and set them as banner and background images.
2. If I choose custom set of UI dialogs, how can I get standard feature dialog instead of WixSharp Feature dialog?
3. If nothing out of above two is possible to display product version & release, if & how is it possible to add product version & release to MSI properties? (Through powershell or something?)

I would advise you to use Managed UI, which comes with the complete C# source code for all dialogs. You can do any customization you want:

I would also advise switching to WiX4 stream as WiX team already stopped supporting WiX3
