Additional Options dialog in MSI

[manishc_dbi]

Hi,

I am using the Licenced 2.5.1 version of Advance Installer. In my MSI, I now want to take some inputs from the user (preferably as radio button options as well as edit controls) and based on inputs perform certain tasks using the custom action. I use a VC++ DLL for my cutom actions.

How can I add my own dialog so that it comes up when MSI is running? Or can I change the existing dialogs?

Please help ASAP,

regards,
Manish

Hi,

I'm afraid that for the moment Advanced Installer does not support UI customization.
UI customization has highest priority on our TODO list and we are working on implementing this feature as we speak. We are targeting the 4.0 release to include it.
In the meantime you could use a custom action to display the dialog and collect the information from the user.
This could run a DLL that displays the dialog.

All the best,
Gigi

Thanx Gigi,

I have implemented the solution using a dialog in custom action DLL. Looking forward for the UI customization enhancements in next version of Adv. Installer.
