setup project GUI

Hi,

I'm trying to create a setup project using .net, but I'd like to design
the GUI displayed.

Is this possible to achieve through a .net setup project? The dialogs I
can see can not be designed as I would like through the UI editor.

Thanks in advance.

No, the VS dialogs are pre-defuined as you noticed.

This is a listing and comparison of the current tools that create MSI files,
many allow you design the UI.
