Installing app on Terminal Server & SQL database on another

[DanielW]

I am having difficulty setting up a dialog to install the database files for MSSQL on a database server and the application on a Terminal server. I am a newbie on this software. I need a dialog to prompt the user to enter a path for the SQL server database location and dialog for the application. The default project install seems to have the application covered. but how do you add another dialog to the default project?

Daniel,

To add a dialog, in the MSI Code view, right click on the Dialogs node and make the appropriate selection from the context menu.

If you want to create a new dialog, in the MSI code view, double click the Wizard Dialog under the Dialogs Node, make your changes "Save As" the dialog to your project folder.

Then add it as per above.

Side note from experience, seperate the database install out and have the user install the database on the database server do not try to do this from the terminal server application install, real bad idea.

Thanks for quick response and the heads up on the database install. Since I am a newbie, I am having problems with your instructions.
Dialog Node?: Looking at "new project" MSI code view I see "Regions" with code defined below. Right clicking doesn't show "context menu".
Wizard Dialog? I don't see a wizard for dialogs. I see a project wizard.
Can you filter out the terminology for a newbie.

Thanks

On the toolbar change the layout to anything other than simple and you should see a tree view control with the nodes I am refering to. The "Wizard" is a dialog that is present from all IA Supplied themes to use as a base to create your own dialogs from.

That's better! I was in the "Debug Layout". Tree not shown either. Thanks for the quick response.
