I have the following ComboBox declared in a custom Dialog:
<Control Id="EnvironmentCombobox" Type="ComboBox" Sorted="yes" ComboList="yes" Property="ENVIRONMENT" X="25" Y="110" Width="200" Height="15">
<ComboBox Property="ENVIRONMENT">
<ListItem Text="Development" Value="Development" />
<ListItem Text="SIT" Value="SIT" />
<ListItem Text="UAT" Value="UAT" />
<ListItem Text="Production" Value="Production" />
</ComboBox>
</Control>
When I run my installer and get to that dialog, the ComboBox doesn’t show until I run my mouse over it. It also appears when if I hit a navigation button. If I leave and come back to the dialog, it is gone again, until I mouse over it or hit a navigation button.
I’ve tried setting Hidden="no" and increasing the height, but no luck.
Adding full files, per request in comments.
The above is in the EnvironmentDlg:

The issue is regarding the Height of InstallText control in EnvironmentDlg.
Change the Height to 25
