visual studio .net setup : Custom Dialog in VS.NET 2003 -> Setup Project -> User Interface

When setting up witch dialogs should be shown as the setup is running I was
wondering if it would be possible to add a dialog containing a dropdownlist,
witch could be manually populated with data.

I need to set a country code from within the setup. The installer installs a
Windows Service, that communicates with a web services depending on witch
country is selected during the setup.

Not with Visual Studio setups no, because there's no way to add code to do
that during the UI. You can add the canned TextBoxes dialog to the UI, but
you'd have to get the user to type in the value (maybe that's where you are
right now).

At the risk of statinmg the obvious, Visual Studio setups aren't as
fully-featured as other tools from Wix, InstallShield, Wise, Advanced
Installer etc.

What a pitty, but thank you for your response. We have licens for
InstallShield, so we will use that instead then. :)

Thank you.
