Repaint issue of SelectionTree control in a Windows Installer dialog

Hello,

We use Wise Installation Studio to create our msi files. We decided to
use our own bitmaps for the background of the entire dialog on all the
built in dialogs. Once I did this, most all of my other controls
painted under the bitmap control. After researching this I found to
set the zorder to fix this issue. I set the bitmap control as the
first control and then went from there. Once I did this, all my
controls draw on top of the bitmap (except in one scenario).

On the SelectFeatureDialog dialog, there is a SelectionTree control.
When the dialog fist displays, all is fine. However, if I click on the
Browse button to open the Browse dialog and then close that dialog to
go back to SelectFeatureDialog, then the SelectionTree dissapears
behind the bitmap control. The Brose dialog needs to come up over the
SelectionTree in the SelectFeatureDialog.

I posted this as a bug to the Wise technical support team and after
sending them a stripped down msi file reproducing the issue, they were
able to reproduce the problem. They state that this is an issue in the
Microsoft Windows installer and I need to report the issue to them.
However, I do not know the best way to do this. Can someone point me
in the right direction for me to report this issue and get it
resolved. I thank you for your time.

I have a small msi file reproducing the issue I can email if that
helps.
