Hi all,
I am just newbie to install aware. I have created a success full installer. My only problem is the movie.swf file which I have added during the progress of installation.
This works perfectly when I install but when I uninstall the movie.swf it gets popped up.
I do not want the movie.swf to run during the uninstallation.
Has anyone faced such issues?

Make the flash control invisible if REMOVE=TRUE.

Thanks for the reply. I could able to solve the issue.
But now the concern is the form size. The form size is quite big for the un-installation. I tried the various option of autosize available - bt doesn help !

Just create a new dialog and set AutoSize=False and then edit height and Width parameters.

Hi, I created a new dialog, but how to integrate it during un-installation. It still shows the old dialog. As install aware uses the same dialog for install and uninstall ..!!!

Yes it is correct to use the same dialog, only the text controls and other controls should be shown/hide depending on REMOVE=TRUE or not.

Well I gave the option of False for the uninstallation. But that will show some white image at that part during un-installation. Some how I am not able to re-size during un-installation.
Thanks in advance

Did you hide the Remove Label? Maybe move it somewhere to the middle. I am not sure if I understood right, pls make a screenshot to illustrate the problem.

Well my actual problem is the un-installation.
during installation I play the movie,swf during progress. But I want only the movie.swf to be played during installation, but that also shows the form
. I want to get rid of the form.
BUT during un-installation, I have made the movie.swf=FALSE, so it will not run the movie.swf , BUT it will still show the big FORM, which runs during installation.
So actual concern is the form, which should not be displayed during un-installation. If displayed , how do it re-size the form only for un-installation?

Ah okay now I understand. I think resizing the whole form (depending on a property) is not possible. You will have to display different dialogs for installation/uninstallation.

mmh you could add a condition in the display dialog command If Variable REMOVE=TRUE or FALSE
or do something like that:
Code: Select all
if Variable REMOVE Equals TRUE
Comment: display uninstall progress dialog
Display Dialog: , wait for dialog to return (modal)
else
Comment: display install progress dialog
Display Dialog: , wait for dialog to return (modal)
end
