Ablity to set the default selection on the upgrade dialog

[Cloak]

I was wondering if you could add the ability to set the default selection for the radio buttons on the upgrade dialog.
It is weird to me that you can set default on other dialogs but not this one.


Thanks

Hi,

Please note that this can be done in an Enterprise project through the dialog editor. For a radio button you can set the "Selected" property to "True" to make it selected by default.

That is unfortunate as our company does not feel that the this feature warrants the cost difference between the professional version and the enterprise version. We have approval to order the first seven licenses but the management will not approve doubling the cost for the ability to change a single default setting. We will most likely have to look at a different installer software package if this is not part of the professional version

Hi,

In the Professional version you could use a custom action to set the default selection for the "UpgradeDlg" dialog:
- in the Custom Actions page show the "InstallUISequence" -> "MigrateFeatureStates" standard action
- create a Property set with formatted custom action under "MigrateFeatureStates"
- in the "Custom Action Properties" pane set the "Property Name" field to:

Code: Select all

AI_UPGRADE

- set the "Formatted Text" field to:

Code: Select all

Yes

This way the default option will be "Yes, remove older versions".
