How do I "fake" a first-time install to test my EULA?

Mon Mar 29, 2021 12:45 am

I've managed to add a EULA to my application in both English and French (thanks to another answer on this forum).

Now I would like to test it out. Unfortunately when I run the installer, it never shows me the EULA. I am guessing this is because it's not the first-time; I have already installed this application on my computer many time.

Is there a some way for me to fake-out the installer to make it think that this is the first-time install so that I can make sure my EULA looks right?

Hello,

Did you condition your dialog that displays the EULA (e.g. right click on the dialog --> "Show only if...") with a condition as it follows?

Code: Select all

OLDPRODUCTS
If that is the case, then please note it is normal for the dialog to no be displayed during an upgrade installation.

If you would like to display it, you can add one mare statement that evaluates as false to your condition, e.g.:

Code: Select all

OLDPRODUCTS AND 1=2
In addition to that, you could go to "Themes" page and use the "Test Installation UI" feature.
