The Optional Install Dialogs page

This page describes the optional install dialogs. Their presence is not mandatory in the installation wizard. These dialogs can be added to the chain of dialogs using the Add Dialog

Select Installation Folder

Allows the user to select the folder where the package will be installed.

License Agreement

Displays the license agreement text for your product. You can select the Rich Text Format file that contains your license agreement in the "File Path" field of the Properties pane. This field is available when the "Scrollable Edit" control is selected on the dialog.

Readme

Displays the Readme text for the user. You can select the Rich Text Format file that contains your license agreement in the "File Path" field of the Properties pane. This field is available when the "Scrollable Edit" control is selected on the dialog.

User Registration

Allows the user to enter the serial number of the product. You can set the options for the serial number validation in the Serial Validation Page.

Setup Type

Allows the user to select the type of the installation. This dialog and the Select Location dialog are mutually exclusive.

• Typical - only the most used features of the product will be installed.
• Custom - allows the user to individually select which features will be installed and how they will be installed.
• Complete - all the features of the product will be installed.

You can set a feature to be installed in a Typical installation by using the Feature Properties page.

File Associations

The dialog asks the user to confirm the creation of the file associations.

The available options allow the user to create all or none of the file associations (the user cannot choose to create only some of the file associations).

Upgrade

Allows the user to choose whether to automatically remove older versions of the product or to allow side by side installs. This dialog is to be used together with the "Allow side by side installs of different versions of the product" option from the "Install Parameters" page.

This dialog should be placed after the "Select Location" dialog.

Configure Shortcuts

This dialog prompts the user to select where he wants to create shortcuts. Three options are available:

• Desktop
• Start Menu
• Quick Launch
• StartUp Folder

In the "Shortcuts Options" pane you can choose what options will be displayed on the dialog during installation as well as their default state.

These shortcuts must be created in the Files and Folders page in order to be installed. This dialog doesn't create the shortcuts automatically, it simply conditions their creation.

SQLConnectionDlg

Use this dialog to collect information about an SQL connection. It can be used complementary with the SQL Scripts feature.

StartMenuShortcutsDlg

This dialog allows you to choose the shortcut group from Start Menu in which your program's shortcuts will be installed.

New Dialog

This is a blank dialog that you can customize as want and can serve any purpose.

Some dialogs are mutually exclusive. For example "Setup Type" and "Select Location" dialogs can't be selected at the same time. This is because if the "Setup Type" dialog is displayed the user can choose "Custom" and select a destination folder there.
