Hi Venkat,

Start the dialog editor. You will already see a new form.

You can save it anywhere. Then switch back to the InstallAware IDE, and while the Project Manager is showing, right-click the Dialogs node, browse to your dialog, and add it.

Then you will be able to use the Display Dialog command to display this dialog in your setup.

Note: You need the Studio edition to be able to perform the above tasks. Also, you want to switch to the MSIcode view.

Creating a new dialog in InstallAware is fairly straightforward. Here are the steps you can follow:

Open your InstallAware project in the IDE.

Click on the "Dialogs" tab at the bottom of the screen.

Right-click on the "Dialogs" node in the tree view and select "New Dialog".

In the "New Dialog" dialog box, select the type of dialog you want to create (e.g. "Standard Dialog", "Wizard Dialog", "Hyperlink Dialog", etc.) and click "OK".

The new dialog will appear in the tree view under the "Dialogs" node. You can double-click on it to edit its properties.

To place the new dialog into your project, you can either drag and drop it from the "Dialogs" node onto the "Installation Designer" view, or you can right-click on the "Dialogs" node and select "Add to Project" to add the dialog to the project.
