Defining the End-User Interface of an Advanced UI or Suite/Advanced UI Installation

InstallShield 2019

Project • This information applies to the following project types:

Edition • The Advanced UI project type is available in the Professional edition of InstallShield. The Suite/Advanced UI project type is available in the Premier edition of InstallShield. For information about the differences between these two project types, see Advanced UI Projects vs. Suite/Advanced UI Projects.

The elements of the wizard interface of an Advanced UI or Suite/Advanced UI installation consist of wizard pages and secondary windows (also known as pop-up windows). Advanced UI and Suite/Advanced UI projects contain a number of standard predefined wizard pages and secondary windows. You can add or delete pages and windows, as well as customize the layout and behavior of them.

Note that the Advanced UI or Suite/Advanced UI setup launcher automatically suppresses the user interface of .msi, .msp, and InstallScript package formats, in favor of the wizard interface of the Advanced UI or Suite/Advanced UI installation. If an Advanced UI or Suite/Advanced UI project contains an .exe package, you must manually suppress its user interface and have the Advanced UI or Suite/Advanced UI installation launch it silently. Otherwise, at run time, the installation shows the Advanced UI or Suite/Advanced UI wizard pages and the separate user interface of the .exe package, presenting two disparate user interfaces. For more information, see Passing Command-Line Parameters to a Package in an Advanced UI or Suite/Advanced UI Installation.
