SQL Server Connection Dialog

I am migrating from InstallShield to InstallAware.

My setup includes a SQL Server database. InstallShield comes with a pre-built dialog that allows the user to connect to a Database Server and provide credentials. All the data collected from this Dialog is stored in Variables which can then be used in the SQL Scripts.

Is there an equivalent dialog in InstallAware 11 or 12?

Hi,

Here is what you can do in InstallAware - create a new project and select the MS SQL Server Connection template (New Project -> Quick Start -> Samples -> MS SQL Server Connection). This template is exactly what you are looking for and contains the dialog you were referring to.
You can either build your setup on top of this template, or take the code and dialog and use it in your own setup.
