SetColor Example

InstallShield 2016 » InstallScript Language Reference

Note • To call this function in a Basic MSI setup, you must first create a custom action for the entry-point function, execute the custom action in a sequence or as the result of a dialog's control event, and then build the release.

* InstallShield Example Script

*

* Demonstrates the SetColor function.

*

* The first call to SetColor sets the background color to solid

* blue.  The second call sets the background color to gradient

* red.  The last call sets the background color to an RGB value.
