Custom dialogs

We have the professional version. Is there a way to customize any of the dialogs to add some text to instruct the user what to do next after installing the application? We would like to tell the user where to look for the application shortcut.

The only thing I could find was the "read me" dialog. Problem is that it occurs at the start of the process, rather than at the end, and is not moveable...

Thanks,

Wayne

Re: Custom dialogs

Hi Wayne,

I'm afraid that the dialogs cannot be modified in a Professional project. However, you can try using a ScriptInline custom action to show a custom message to the user. The custom action can be scheduled under the "InstallExecuteSequence" -> "InstallFinalize" standard action and the "Script Text" field can be set to something like this:

Code: Select all

MsgBox "You can find the application shortcut on the Desktop"
