Working with Dialogs in Any Project Type
InstallShield 2020
Dialogs provide the user interface for your installation. They request information from the end user and provide feedback about the progress of the installation process.
The way in which you work with the dialogs in your project depends on the type of installation that you are creating. Adding dialogs to an InstallScript or InstallScript MSI project requires different steps than adding dialogs to a Basic MSI project.
Common Operations
Some of the dialog operations are common to Basic MSI, InstallScript, and InstallScript MSI projects.
