Adding a Predefined Wizard Page in an Advanced UI or Suite/Advanced UI Project
InstallShield 2020
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.
InstallShield enables you to add various predefined wizard pages to your Advanced UI or Suite/Advanced UI project. Examples include:
|
•
|
A page that allows end users choose the installation directory for an .msi package |
|
•
|
A page that lets end users enter customer information and serial numbers |
|
•
|
A page that shows a feature tree, as well as feature descriptions and sizes, and allows end users to select which features to install |
|
•
|
A database login page that allows end users to enter database server login information (database server name, authentication credentials, database catalog name, etc.) in order to establish a connection to the database server that is targeted by one or more .msi packages in the suite |
To add a predefined wizard page in an Advanced UI or Suite/Advanced UI project:
|
1.
|
In the View List under User Interface, click Wizard Interface. |
|
2.
|
In the Wizard Interface explorer, right-click Wizard Pages and then click Add Predefined Page. The User Interface Wizard opens. |
|
3.
|
Complete the panels in the wizard as needed. |
InstallShield adds the new predefined page to your project. Configure its settings in the right pane, and use the center pane to preview it and modify its layout.
Note:When you add the browse-for-installation-folder type of wizard page (called BrowseFolder) to your project, InstallShield adds a placeholder image control to it so that you can display a lock image on the page. Ensure that you either configure the control’s Resource setting to indicate the file that you want to display with this control, or, to exclude an image, delete the image control.
