Hi All,

I m creating a windows installer for a windows database application. While the setup is in action i need to accpet the database server name & login credentials for the same from the user. For this, i have created a cutom user interface & able to accept the values entered by the user which i use to execute a database script at the end of the installation.

Now the problem is that if i want to test the connection right away while accpeting the database server credentials from the user then i need to right some code to validate the connection on pressing the "Next" button & i can't find the event for the "Next" button so that i can write some custom code to validate the connection.

Is there any way to handle the "Next" button event for any custom validation in windows installer

Also, Is there a way to access the application config file during installation so that i can overwrite the default values with the database connection credentials given by the user on successful validation

Please suggest

Thanks,
