How do I use a local file for the license agreement

Thu Mar 11, 2021 11:23 pm

I am using AI Professional 18.0. I have a license agreement document that I want my MSI installer to show. I thought it would be as easy as just saving the file to my installer project and then specifying it somewhere in a path (like I do all my other files). But it's not working.

I chose the "Black Surface" theme
I saved the agreement file as .RTF "eula.rtf" in the same folder alongside my .AIP file.
I went to the dialog setup in "Dialogs >> InstallDlg" template for MSI First time install.
I clicked the browse button to browse to where the .RTF is
The browse seems to to work. I see the correct path for the saved file

Then I build and I see this:

Failed to read RTF file "C:\Users\jmole\Documents\Dev\Mobile\Installer\Control.Text.LicenseAgreementDlg#AgreementText_2". Make sure you localized correctly the path for "Control.Text.LicenseAgreementDlg#AgreementText_2".

Hi,

This may happen if you use multiple languages in your project. In this case, an EULA file should be specified for each language. To do this, you need to go in the "Translations" page, "Default Strings" tab, search for the "Control.Text.LicenseAgreementDlg#AgreementText_2" localization ID and set a correct path to an EULA file for each language.
