View Full Version : Confirm Install.TO folders

In the past we've installed to a C:\MyAPP folder with
subfolders for data, backup, etc. and used an _.ini file to
locate data if the default subfolder was not used. The
installing user only needed an assign the Install.to folder,

Since Vista doesn't like that I want to ask the user:
- where to install the program.files which will default to
CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES\MyApp
- where to install the data.files which will default to
CSIDL_COMMON_DOCUMENTS\MyApp

That all works fine!

My question is the appearance of the Ready to Install
confirmation

I've added the data.files install path to the confirmation
as an Additional Information Variable on the Advanced.tab
and it is displayed following the Disk Space Requirements
BUT -
I'd like it to follow immediately below the Destination
Folder in which the files will be placed,

I think the question is:
"How do I display more than 1 entry for the user to
confirm?"
or maybe it is
"How can I add to the list of values/vairables that are
presented by the confirmation review?

Thanks
Guy

Found most of the answer.

I tried a Topics dialog. I get the text as I want it, BUT
the test is not in it's own "area"

A List.Box dialog provides a window that looks EXACTLY like
the Ready.To.Install dialog window. I did not specify a
selection variable to be returned so only the
Back/Next/Cancel buttons are acted upon.

I think that's it!
I knew it was in there, seems like everything is, ya just
have to have your hat on at the proper angle to see it.
