Setup Complete Success Dialog

InstallShield 2019 Express Edition

When your installation successfully finishes, it displays the Setup Complete Success dialog. This dialog informs end users of a successful installation and optionally gives them the opportunity to check for updates for your product, launch your product, or view your readme file. This dialog is required.

If you enable Windows Installer logging through the General Information view, Windows Installer 4.0 creates a log file during installation of your product and populates the MsiLogFileLocation setting with the log file’s path. In addition, a Show the Windows Installer log check box is added to the Setup Complete Success dialog. If the end user selects that check box and then clicks Finish, the log file is opened in a text file viewer or editor. To learn more, see Specifying Whether Windows Installer Installations Should Be Logged.
