How to handle different editons?

We have several customers and we need to modify the appearance (dialogs, etc.) as well as files for each customer, but we don't want to create a own project for every customer. Is this possible with InstallAware?

Yes! Using one of many ways, in increasing order of difficulty and decreasing order of efficiency:

o Runtime branching execution with custom MSIcode scripting
o Compile time customization with Compiler Variables
o Automation interface

Hello CandiceJones!

Thanks for your reply. I searched the forums and it seems to be impossible to change an image of a dialog at compile time. (Depending on the edition to build.) The only way to do this is to create seperate dialogs for each edition, but this would be redunant and quite dirty in my opinion.

Isn't there a better way to do this?

Best regards

For dialog images, yes there is no way to change them at runtime, sorry!
