Selecting Dialogs with the Installation Interview

InstallShield 2022 » Basic MSI Tutorial

The Installation Interview page lets you specify the dialogs that you want end users to see when your installation runs. Based on your answers to the questions on this page, the Project Assistant adds the corresponding dialog to your installation project.

To specify dialogs for the tutorial, do the following:

1.

Do you want to display a License Agreement Dialog?—Select No. If you selected Yes for this option, you would be able to browse to your license agreement file.

2.

Do you want to prompt users to enter their company name and user name?—Select Yes. The installation displays a dialog requesting this information.

3.

Do you want your users to be prompted to modify the installation location of your application?—Select Yes. For more information, see Allowing End Users to Modify the Installation Location.

4.

Do you want users to be able to selectively install only certain parts of your application?—Select Yes. For more information, see Creating Selectively Installable Installations.

5.

Do you want to give users the option to launch your application when the installation completes?—Select Yes and browse to the Tutorial.exe file (located in [ProgramFilesFolder]TutorialCo\Tutorial). When this option is set to Yes, the final dialog in the installation presents a check box that allows the end user to immediately launch your application upon clicking the Finish button.
