Displaying Custom Dialogs

InstallShield 2026 » InstallScript Debugger

One common technical support issue is the failure of custom dialogs to be displayed. Building and debugging custom dialogs can be a sophisticated process, but you can often find the bug that prevents a custom dialog from being displayed by confirming that all of the following conditions are true:

The DLL containing the dialog resides on the disk that you intend to ship.
Your installation copies the DLL to the path and subfolder where your script expects to find it.
The dialog that you are loading is in the DLL.
You are using the correct ID to address the dialog if the dialog is in the DLL.
