InstallAware

(Not urgent)

IA12, Native Engine

I build some installers for OEMs who distribute our company's products. The installer can be switched between different OEMs when it runs (it looks for the existence of a file which tells it the OEM name; this dictates the settings of some variables within the MSICode.

It would be nice if we could control, via variables, items which are on the Project Options dialog, in particular the Help Link ands Product Updates Link, so that the entry in the Programs and Features control panel is applicable to the OEM.

Hint: To see where the links are put, in the Programs and Features control panel, look at Tools→Choose Details. Enable the Help Link and Update Info Link; you can then see the website URLs on the Programs and Features 'Details View' listing.

Main question:
Is it possible to control these links via variables now, or might it be in future, please? (I've asked this before, but long ago, before the Native Engine was available.)

Secondary question: can you set the Support Link in InstallAware? I've not found a place to do so.

Thanks,

Nick

Hi,

You can change all these post-install in the registry right after calling Apply Install..

Thanks.
