Using the Setup Player
InstallShield 2020
Project:This information applies to InstallScript projects.
The Setup Player is a Setup.ocx file that downloads and then launches the Setup.exe file with the appropriate command line. The Setup.ocx file also supports launching a setup executable file with a name other than Setup.exe; for this to work correctly, the [Startup] section of the Setup.ini file should contain the following key:
LauncherName=SetupLauncher
where SetupLauncher is the file name of the alternate setup launcher.
For an example of using the Setup Player in a Web page, build a release using the Create a default Web page option in the Release Wizard’s Internet Options panel or the Create Default Web Page setting on the Internet tab in the Releases view. Then examine the code in the generated Web page (Setup.htm).
Once an instance of the Player has been created, you may use the methods and properties associated with each of the objects within the Player to customize your installation.
