Adding a New Dialog

InstallShield 11 » Basic MSI Tutorial

The Basic MSI project includes many dialogs that you can display in your installation program's user interface. The topic, Running Your Installation, in this tutorial, showed the dialogs your installation program displays based on your selections in the Project Assistant's Installation Architecture page.

To create a new dialog:

Open the Dialogs view. The Dialogs view is located in the User Interface section of the View List.
Right-click the All Dialogs node and select New Dialog. The Dialog Wizard launches. Click Next to dismiss the Welcome panel.
In the Dialog Template panel, select Interior.isd and select the Insert this dialog in a User Interface sequence option.
In the User Interface panel, select Installation from the User Interface Sequence menu and select Install Welcome in the list of dialogs. Based on these selections, InstallShield will insert your new dialog in sequence immediately following the Install Welcome dialog.
In the Dialog Position and Condition panel, leave the default settings, and click Finish. Your new dialog appears in the Dialogs list.
Right-click on the dialog and select Rename. Rename the dialog WelcomeBitmap.

Using the same technique, you can insert additional dialogs in your installation program's user interface.
