Help with theme "App Installer"

[Joelson Forte]

I really liked the installer from version 22.4 and would like to make one similar, but the 'App Installer' theme is somehow hiding button (2) where the 'Install' and 'Configure' options are. I need to drag button (1) to the left to see button (2), which is also hidden (4). I need to select 'Visible' and bring it to the front (3) to see button (2).

I noticed that in the Advanced Installer, when I click the 'Configure' option, it opens the 'BrowseDlg' dialog where I can choose the installation location. However, when I compile the 'App Installer' theme, the 'Configure' option doesn't work, and when I click it, the installation starts immediately without showing the 'BrowseDlg' dialog where I can choose the installation location. Can someone kindly guide me on how to do this correctly?

Hello and welcome to our forum,

I noticed that in the Advanced Installer, when I click the 'Configure' option, it opens the 'BrowseDlg' dialog where I can choose the installation location. However, when I compile the 'App Installer' theme, the 'Configure' option doesn't work, and when I click it, the installation starts immediately without showing the 'BrowseDlg' dialog where I can choose the installation location.

This is because by default no other dialogs are added. You must add the FolderDlg dialog manually or any other dialog. Right click on the WelcomeDlg → Add Dialog → FolderDlg.

You can easily select hidden controls from the drop-down option in the Properties right pane:

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks Liviu!
That's exactly what I needed.

Just one more small question: When I compile using the 'Build' option, everything is correct.

But when I use the 'Test Installation UI' option to preview, I get this result.

You're always welcome!

This is a known bug for this theme. However, there should be no problems when running the setup.

I have now increased its' priority and hopefully this will be fixed in a future version of Advanced Installer. As soon as the fix will be released we will notify you.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

Best regards,
Liviu

No problem Liviu.
I thought I was doing something wrong. The most important thing is that the installer is generated correctly.
I'm really enjoying Advanced Installer.

Thanks for your help.
