End of install Readme

[NewsArchive]

I want to display text file with guide to new features at the end of the
install and also be able to
allow end user to print. Is there an example of this somewhere in the
example projects?

If it's a file you want to leave intact just install it and use "Run
Program" with ShellExecute. This will run the file in the users
preferred program, such as Notepad.

Just make it the last line in the script.

You were right again.. I think I will let it go at running the rtf at the
end of install.

Thanks

Let us assume, you would like to display the text before the Finish dialog
(see attached screenshots):

1. Add the "Readme" dialog before the "Finish" dialog.

2. Open the dialog properties.

3. In the "String Resources" tab, click the 'Readme Text' browse button and
then the Edit button. Select your .rtf file. Click "OK" and then "Select".

3. Select the "Advanced" tab and mark the "Enable Print Button (RTF only)"
checkbox. The "RTF Support" checkbox is marked by default.

Click OK and compile. That's it :)

Or what Lee said. You can use the "Run Program..." ShellExecuteEx option to
open your file with the associated application (e.g. a .htm file with
Internet Explorer or .txt with Notepad, etc.).

There are two possible reasons:

1. You do not have a valid .rtf

-or-

2. You have a valid .rtf but you did unmark the "RTF Support" checkbox.

I have attached a demo for you (see danrtf.zip file).

Does this help?
