Hiding the PrepareDlg

Tue Jan 22, 2013 4:46 am

As the part of standard dialogs AdavancecInstaller adds PrepareDlg. Since the preparation is happens really fast, our end users are experiencing flickering problem. Is it possible to hide/remove this??

Hello,

In order to achieve what you want you can condition the "PrepareDlg" standard action. Go to "Custom Action" page, select "Wizard Dialogs Stage" and use the context menu option "Show Standard Action -> Searches -> PrepareDlg". Then, you can set the "Execute Condition" field, from "Standard Action Properties" right pane, to 0.

All the best,

I followed this, but I did it on the wrong installer project. Can I reverse it as not sure how to.
Thanks.

Hello,

To revert the setting you should just go to "Custom Action" page, select "Wizard Dialogs Stage" and use the context menu option "Show Standard Action -> Searches -> PrepareDlg". Then make sure its "Execution Condition" field in right pane is left empty. Just delete the 0 value you previously added.

All the best,
Daniel

I have done that but the prepareDialog just flashes up for a couple of seconds and disappears.

Hello Dave,

Please keep in mind that this is the expected behavior. The "PrepareDlg" is shown for a little amount of time, as its description states:
Please wait while the Setup Wizard prepares to guide you through the installation
After the "preparations" are done (few actions are executed), the "WelcomeDlg" dialog is spawned.

Just let us know if you have any other questions.

All the best,
Catalin
