Get rid of 'Run application now' on finish screen?

I am using InstallAware to install a Windows service application, so as such there is no 'real' application that can be run when the installer exits.

However the finish dialog box always has a button to 'Run' the program after the install is finished, which makes now sense. How do I get rid of that checkbox on the final finish dialog box?

Take it out using the dialog editor.

Well that is nice, but I don't have the dialog editor. I bought the Developer edition, not Studio. I did not expect to have to edit dialogs for the simple installs we are doing for internal use.

I suppose I can live with it, but it would be nice if there was a built in option for that dialog box to disable it.

So I gather without upgrading to the 'Studio' version of the software, I am out of luck fixing this?

Try setting the pre-defined variable RUNAPP = FALSE. (It defaults to true)

That should cause the check box you mentioned to be unchecked at the install.
