Adding option in the last screen "installation Complete

Hi,

By default we can display 2 options in the "installation Complete" screen. "View Read me file" and "Launch application". Is it possible to add custom items such as "Launch website" with an associated checkbox?

I know I can automatically launch an URL by using a "Pre-Defined custom action" but I would like to give the choose to users to launch the web site or not.

If I cannot customize the "Installation Complete" screen, how can I set up the "Pre-Defined custom action" to launch an URL only after the user clicks the "Finish" button on the last screen. I've tried to add the action in InstallExecuteSequence for Install or Commit, but the URL is launched as soon as the "installation Complete" screen appears. I wish to have it trigger after the finish button is clicked.

Thank you in advance for your help and insights,

Best,

Guillaume

Hi,

Full UI customization has the highest priority on our TODO list and it will be available in a future release.

It is possible to use one of the checkbox buttons from the Installation Complete dialog to launch an URL.

1. Create a new text file with the ".url" extension ("link.url") with the following content and include it in your project:

Code: Select all

[InternetShortcut]
URL=http://www.your-site.com/
2. Select this file as the file to be launched in the Dialogs page of AdvInst.

The text of the checkbox can be customized by editing 2 XML files ("ui.ail" and "ui_en.ail") located in the "dictionary" subfolder of AdvInst. Particularly, you need to change the "value" attribute in the following line:

Code: Select all

<STRING id="Control.Text.ExitDialog#LaunchProdText" value="Launch [ProductName]"/>
Hope this helps.

Regards,
Denis

Thanks Denis.

Your solution worked perfectly for me.

Full UI customization will definitely be a great feature for AdvancedInstaller. Glad that I took the 24 months Maintenance Plan :D

Thank you again for you help, I am almost done with my installer. I have 1 outstanding question which I will post in a new thread to not confuse the issues.

Best,

Guillaume
