drop downs (combo/list boxes) with info
What is the easiest way to create on custom dialogs dropdowns (listbox or combobox) where the info is:
info available from target during install:
1.) The accounts on the machine
2.) The websites on the machine
3.) the DSN names on that machine
I'm using 2010 and it's a basic MSI project. Does it require Installscript project? There are a lot of options in Basic MSi project with listboxes, etc.
Thanx.

Setting aside the issue of getting the data that goes into a list control, populating a list control at run time involves modifying the in-memory MSI database.
For the general technique, perhaps see this old newsletter tip (PDF) http://www.flexerasoftware.com/webdocuments/PDF/msiaccess.pdf and the InstallShield help topic "Windows Installer API Functions Example". The topic is also discussed at length in our advanced MSI training course.
