Dialogs & XML Replacement functions?

Postby zeev » Sun May 13, 2012 2:28 pm

Hi Forum,
Looking for a way to make an "update" installer, that will have an xml file added to it and when ran on an already setuped computer dialog will present the following:
1. dialog string boxs showing values of keys in the OLD xml located in a default location on the machine.
2. Following part.1, the changes the user makes to those boxs is saved in the NEW XML file on the attached keys as i choose - Option needs to work even if the user doesn't change anything and the installer simply does it itself.

I already know how to attach an XML value to a property.
How can i attach an XML value to a property that when PRESSED "Next" it will be copied to the same values in the corresponding new XML file?


Also, will appriciate a link for toturial on the matter of XML and Dialogs.

Thanks
zeev

Hello and welcome to Advanced Installer forums,

How can i attach an XML value to a property that when PRESSED "Next" it will be copied to the same values in the corresponding new XML file?

If you are referencing public properties in the XML file update, their values will be automatically replaced on user interaction. The XML update will contain the final properties' values.

Also, will appriciate a link for toturial on the matter of XML and Dialogs.

Here's a similar article to help you with this.

All the best,
