Adding 'Custom Dialog' after 'Installation Complete' dialog
Dear Team,
I want to develop a MSI, in the MSI after "installation complete" screen (i.e. after user clicked the "Finish" button) need to show the Custom Dialog which contains 3 edit controls (textbox) and 2 buttons (Validate and Cancel) and get the input from the user and when user clicked the Validate button needs to save the values in to the text file under the installation folder. Is there any workaround to achieve my requirement, please advice on this. Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards
Leo

While you could certainly sequence a dialog there (search for Control Events, Dialog Sequencing, or similar terms), a well behaved MSI installation will not have the privileges to write to the installation folder at that point. Typically this sort of information gathering is done before the installation commences, or is done by a helper executable which your application launches elevated if necessary.
