Please send your email address to our Support [at] lindersoft [dot] com and we'll send the dialog examples. I am afraid that the help file is too large.

If you could suggest solution of my original posted problem in this post or mail. Also could you please mail me examples/help files for events and custom dialog.

Did you already download the Example Package and Learning SetupBuilder Part I? There are some very interesting custom dialog demo projects available (including "event handling").

I dont have download rights at my system and could not access Example Package and Learning Setup Builder Part I. Could you please help with solution ?

To fix the problem from the question asked, add the %DEST_DIR% runtime variable to the Static Text field. Then remove the Set Text "%_SB_INSTALLDIR%" to ControlID "DESTFOLDER" line from the script. But again, there are some more problems in your script logic. This will only fix one of them.

Does this help?

Friedrich

P.S. NEVER create a folder from within the wizard that collects information from the user. All this should be executed after the wizard.

Thanks.

I am still facing some issues after I did both suggested changes - 1. Add the %DEST_DIR% runtime variable to the Static Text field, 2. remove the Set Text "%_SB_INSTALLDIR%" to ControlID "DESTFOLDER" line from the script.

Issues:
1. Change of installation folder done by keyboard on options dialog only get reflected once on ready to install dialog. If we do back and change installation folder it is not reflected on ready to install.
2. Now change of installation folder using Change button also not get reflected on ready to install.
3. When we do back the edit control shows the default install dir not the changed one.
