Dialogs

The Dialogs page helps you choose a dialog theme and a maintenance mode for the user interface of your setup.

Dialog Theme

The dialog theme controls the appearance of your setup user interface. Regardless of the actual dialogs you choose to display, the theme determines how the general appearance of the dialogs will be. You will most likely want to preview the available themes before settling on a theme for your setup project.

To preview available dialog themes, choose a theme, and click View Theme. Different themes will be better suited to different types of applications. Be sure to try each theme.

Maintenance Mode

The maintenance mode setting determines what happens when the user re-runs setup, after having already installed your product on his/her computer. Please note that re-running setup after your product has been installed is identical to choosing your product's Change/Remove button in the Control Panel Add Remove Programs listing.

I wish to allow a maintenance user interface

If this setting is enabled, the user will be presented with a maintenance dialog, offering three options: Modify, Repair, and Remove.

• If Modify is chosen, a feature selection dialog will be shown, and the product will be reinstalled using the newly selected features.
• If Repair is chosen, the product will be reinstalled using exisiting feature selections.
• If Remove is chosen, the product will be uninstalled.

If either Modify or Repair has been chosen, the product will be reinstalled. This may mean that product configuration files modified by the user may be replaced with their originals.

I prefer to provide an uninstall option only

If this setting is enabled, the user will be asked whether (s)he wants to uninstall the product, and if comfirmed, the product will be removed from the user's system.
