InstallAware

Can guide me on how to remove/hide the setup extracting progress bar and splash screen before the first setup dialog appear?

Dear Ramu2020,

honestly, I suggest to you to not hide the setup initialization dialogs ... the process will not display any warning in case of errors.

Anyway if you really want to proceed in this way, the only thing that you could try is:
- Set the SILENT pre-defined variable as FALSE (Set Variable SILENT to FALSE) at the very beginning of your main script, build the package and run it from command line as; <setup.exe> /s.

Hope this helps you.

Regards

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. We sell our software product online, thus asking our user to download and run from command is not practical. I actually see 2 progress dialog before the first setup Dialog (welcome dialog) appear, if it posibble if just 1 progress dialog appear before the first setup Dialog (welcome dialog) appear?

Dear Ramu2020,

unfortunately it's not possible to selectively select which of those initialization dialogs have to be displayed.
Both dialogs are controlled by the setup engine and consequently, it's only possible to use the command line approach in order to have both of them hidden.

Thanks, understood, however can we at least change the title of the Extraction Progress dialog to our own title instead of the current one which display "Install Aware Wizard..."

Change the strings in the translations files.

Under InstallAware Tools select InstallAware Translator.

Thanks, I tried to change it but after exiting the program and launching it again, the string value still the original value, I don't see any button to save or overwrite.

Dear Ramu2020,

any edit operations using the InstallAware Translator tool automatically updates the strings. So, it's strange what you report.
If yoou need to localize the IA shared string, you can also launch the tool from the IA IDE ... Shared Strings from the top Menu in Design View.

Yes, I edited, exit and launch again, the string did not change at all, could it bug on the InstallAware Admin Studio X2?

... try to Run as Admin the IA IDE.

It work but only when I build as Uncompress, if I build in Single and Web the old word "InstallAware Wizard.." still come up.

This is absolutely not possible! Because all build types use the same identical shared strings.
