InstallAware

I have a custom licensing control that generates my licenses. In order to activate the software, during the install the user must enter the license number given to them in the format proscribed and that information must then be written to a specific file name in the installation directory.

I have IA7 Studio and am lost as to how to create a custom screen to accomplish this particular task.

Second question is how do I go about setting up the capability to download updates to the software?

Just create the custom dialog in IA dialog designer, save it, insert it into your project and call it from the MSI code with "Display Dialog:" command. This gives you the freedom to call the dialog based on a desicion or just whenever you want to show it.

As for your second question, In the Project proprties you can specify a URL to monitor for updates.

Thanks Alejandro, but I'm also asking how do I capture that license info and then write it to the file I need for my app?
