Need UI for Installer class

[=?Utf-8?B?Sm9uIEphY29icw==?=]

In the install event, I need to show the user a list of SQL Servers visible
to the machine (getting the list is no problem) so the user can multiselect
which servers apply. Some other UI stuff as well. How can I do this?

Thanks,

Gee, I thought they called it HTML? What's the problem the obvious does not
seem to provide a solution for?

Not obvious to me. I'm not talking about a web app. Just a plain old Windows
app. What does HTML have to do with it? I'm trying to create the .msi with
additional UI.

In my assemblies I have code that collects the list of SQL Servers visible
from the machine where the install is being run. I need UI in the installer
that will allow the user to select which SQL Servers have the production
databases for a certain system. The user can cancel the installation if the
machine they chose to install to cannot see the applicable servers.

How do I set up such UI in the installer class to run in the Install event
handler?
If HTML is the way to do it (????), then how do I display it from the
Install event handler and retrieve the user selections (multiselect from a
list)?

Thanks

If you would have said so in the first place! I'm out of my comfort zone and
"don't do Windows" ;-) but as a web developer I would look at some type of
list populated with checkboxes, enable or disable list items as needed and
use validation to determine what may or may not proceed. Hopefully somebody
with Windows Forms can help out further i
