Brilliant, that's exactly what I want. Now all my projects get the behaviour I want.

Many, many thanks, Gigi.

Thanks Gigi, that's a nice feature I didn't know about, but it doesn't quite solve my problem.

The problem with doing that is, although the dialogs now display exactly as I want them, the [ProductName] used elsewhere now includes the version number, and I don't want that.

For example, the ...

In previous versions, you could edit the Template.msi file to tweak the existing dialogs, but there are no dialogs remaining in this file.

It looks like the recent "upgrades" have broken what I want to do?

Do I really need to get the Enterprise edition (double the cost of Professional) just to do ...

I don't have an Enterprise Licence, only a Professional one. It's an expensive upgrade just to allow a simple edit of a dialog box.

I was hoping there was an existing way, even with the current dialogs, just to get the version number displayed somewhere.

Disaply version number on dialogs

Is there a simple way to display a the applications version number in the installer dialogs?

Currently, I am editing the produced .msi file to modify the dialog titles to include [ProductVersion] beside [ProductName]. Really, I want to be able to setup Advanced Installer so it just does that (or ...

Many thanks.

This is much better than having to edit the template.msi file.

I didn't have to change very much because you'd already incorporated my suggestions for some tweaks to the sizes of things. Great!

Modifying UI Dialogs

I've upgraded to version 3.5 (from an older version, can't remember exactly which version), and want to do small changes to the installation dialogs.

In the previous version I had installed, editing the Template.msi file could achieve this. In the latest version, this file has changed significantly ...

I sent the msizap utility to the user with a batch file to remove all possible previous product versions of our product and this worked for him and he was able to install a new version. :D

Once again, many thanks for your help.

The message the user is getting is "unable to remove older version".

I'm not sure if the user knows what previous version he had installed was, so getting the correct .msi file to him so he can try to repair it is a bit of a problem just now, but we're still trying.

Any ideas how to resolve this ...

I've asked the user if he can try to perform a repair with the original package and see if this fixes it.

I'll also try and get the exact message that's displayed if I can.

User can't uninstall...

I have a problem with a user not being able to install an upgrade. The info is second-hand, but I'll try and get more if required.

Here what I belive the situation is.

The user downloaded an msi file, but this was corrupted (only half of it downloaded)... so this wouldn't install (fair enough ...

I wasn't planning on changing they way it would look, the changes would be invisible unless they were needed.

For example, in the WelcomeDlg, the "Description" control has a height of 30. This can cause the problem text to get truncated. Changing the height to 60 fixed this, allowing the text to ...

Modify the template.msi file to allow more room for text.

The problem with text not fitting in the dialogs has been mentioned before:

I've also found that I've had to edit several fields in the template.msi file to make the text boxes higher (I typically double their size) to ensure that text ...

I tried option 4 and this seemed to work. I had to create a small app to which I could pass the reg keys I needed to be deleted, and this works. I wasn't sure if this could be done by some kind of scripting?

Anyway, many thanks again.
