User select a file from a list via a GUI

I'd like to have a GUI screen come up asking the user to select a file from a list. These files will NOT be on the machine before the install but will be part of the install in a sub directory.When the user selects the file, then I need to rename the file.
How do I do this with the Advanced Installer Java product?

Thanks

Re: User select a file from a list via a GUI

Hi,

This could be done by using the approach explained in the Browse for file tutorial. After the package obtains the path of the file it should run a custom action (through a DoAction control event) which renames the file.

Please note that this is supported only by an Enterprise project because it requires the dialog editor.
