Question about prebuilt dialogs

[daniel347x]

Hello -

The InstallAware web site advertises that InstallAware has 234 pre-built dialogs. However, when I choose the "Display Dialog" command, I see only a few options in the list - not nearly 234.

Where can the 234 pre-built dialogs be found?

Also, are there any dialogs that prompt the user for a text string, and when they click "Next" the value of this string appears in some variable?

Thank you again,

Dan N

All dialogs from all themes add up to that number, so there are that many unique dialogs, but they are in different themes - so they dialogs often represent the same step (although not always, as some themes merge and reorganize steps, as in the Visual Studio installer).

Its really easy to do what you want - just look at the sample scripts and the dialog editor help. A step-by-step guide is available that does something just like that on the InstallAware website: http://www.installaware.com/publications-review.htm , choose the Extreme Installers article.
