10.3 customization Of Prereq Dialogs

[digitalrinaldo]

How do I customize the following two dialogs? Three things we want to do.

1) Remove the finish button in the prereq initial
2) Remove the finish button in the progress about the installer
3) Change the size of the progress bar it is not readable and the updating is so choppy it makes it look broken and the appearance that nothing is working on slow network connections. Is this due to chunked transfers?

Thanks I realize I ask many questions very few of them are obvious in the docs or the examples.

Hello,

1)Remove the finish button in the prereq initial
2) Remove the finish button in the progress about the installer

I'm afraid we don't have support to edit the dialogs of the pre-install prerequisites wizard dialogs.

So if you don't want the user to exit the “pre-install” prerequisite dialog without installing them, there is another approach, where your prerequisites are mandatory and the [Finish] button is disabled.
In order to achieve that you can disable the “Continue with main installation if the prerequisite is not installed” option from the prerequisites properties tab.

3) Change the size of the progress bar it is not readable and the updating is so choppy it makes it look broken and the appearance that nothing is working on slow network connections. Is this due to chunked transfers?

I'm not sure I fully understand your scenario. Can you please give us more details? Which progress bar(when downloading, when installing)?

If you have any questions, please let us know.

Best regards,
Dan

When Java is being installed, the user is given some indication that that the install is active. A java install can take some time since it is well over 100MB. The dialog shown to the user provides updates that show the state of the install as it progresses. The choice of how to inform is not visible enough. The updates are too slow causing the user to wonder if anything is going on? Is there anything we can do to change that?

Hello,

Please keep in mind when the installation of the “Pre-install” prerequisite starts then it is displayed the User Interface of that prerequisite, and it is not related with Advanced Installer.
If the installation of your prerequisite is silent then you don't have any progress bar. When installing the prerequisite is just displayed an “Installing...” message.

If you have other questions, please let us know.

Best regards,
Dan
