The Ready to Install dialog has an option to add user info under "Additional Information Variable:". It is possible to select a variable from this list but how do I format a variable from a Text Resource?
I have added a Resource Text under "Ready to Install" dialog called "1030_DLG_READYTOINSTALL_USERINFO" and this lists all the variables that are initialized during the Loop Wizard. So when the final dialog "Rady to Install" is shown it should list the additional information text.
Allan,
There is a "Ready to Install Dialog.sb8" source code example in the Examples Package that demonstrates this. You can use the "Additional Information Variable" (Advanced Tab) to add this information.
Does this help?

Similar to the attached screenshots (modifications in the above example).

Hi Friedrich
Thanks for your quick reply!
It almost there. But the variable in the text resource is still blank.

I think you are still using an incorrect format. Don't use two lines in your text resource!!! Please see my example. You have to use an '|' for the next line.
Does this help? I can develop a demo for you if you want.

BTW, here is a screenshot...

I tried while making sure that there are no line breaks but without luck.
The problem seems to be that the variable are set just once?
I have modified the Ready to Install Dialog.sb8 example script to illustrate the problem and attached the script here.

As the example shows I have added %_SB_INSTALLDIR% to the value of %ADDITIONALINFO%
Testing the script gives the Install Folder dialog like this

Just hit <Next> and the Ready to Install dialog is shown as this

Now lets go <Back> and change the Destination Folder like this

Go <Next> and the Ready to Install dialog is shown as this

Please note that the runtime value %_SB_INSTALLDIR% is now represented with two different values. Also note that I not used any text resource in this example.
Allan,
You only forgot to "reset" the variable value. See attached screenshot.
Does this help?

That's it! Thanks :)
