Web Installer

I have created a Multi-Language Web Installer build that downloads an MSI with one CAB containing all the features. The problem I am experiencing is that, when downloading the MSI, the installer shows a small window with text that I cannot seem to be able to translate or change. It also appears to lack some information, making the text look incomplete. I have attached a screenshot of this window so it is clear what I mean (the text is in German because it is the default installation language).

Re: Web Installer

Hello and welcome to our forums,

This dialog is displayed by Windows Installer.

I recommend using Web Installer with LZMA Compression. This way, you can have any user interface you want.

Let me know if that helped.

Best regards,
Liviu

Well, using LZMA Compression makes this dialog blink for a short period of time (probably because the download is faster).

Re: Web Installer

Hello,

Thank you for your followup on this.

Indeed, the download is faster because the file is more compressed.

Best regards,
