Specifying Dialogs for Your Installation in the Project Assistant

InstallShield 2024

Project: This information applies to the following project types:

Basic MSI
InstallScript
MSI Database

Note that the option for launching your application when the installation completes is not available in InstallScript projects.

The questions that are displayed on the Installation Interview page of the Project Assistant help you specify which dialogs you want the end user to see when your installation program runs.

To specify dialogs for your installation:

1. Do you want to display a License Agreement Dialog?—Select Yes to browse to your license agreement file.
2. Do you want to prompt users to enter their company name and user name?—Select Yes to display a dialog requesting this information.
3. Do you want your users to be prompted to modify the installation location of your application?—Select Yes to present a dialog that allows end users to change the installation location. See Allowing End Users to Modify the Installation Location for more information.
4. Do you want users to be able to selectively install only certain parts of your application?—Select Yes to allow end users to select which parts of the application they want to install. See Creating Selectively Installable Installations for more information.
5. Do you want to give users the option to launch your application when the installation completes?—Select Yes and browse to your application file. When this option is set to Yes, the final dialog in the installation presents a check box that allows end users to immediately launch your application upon clicking the Finish button.
