Adding a New Dialog

InstallShield 2019 » Basic MSI Tutorial

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

To create a new dialog:

1. Open the Dialogs view. The Dialogs view is located in the User Interface section of the View List.
2. Right-click the All Dialogs explorer and then click New Dialog. The Dialog Wizard opens. Click Next to dismiss the Welcome panel.
3. In the Dialog Template panel, click Interior Wizard Panel, and select the Let me insert this dialog in a User Interface sequence check box.
4. In the User Interface panel, select Installation in the User Interface Sequence list. In the list of dialogs, select InstallWelcome. Based on these selections, InstallShield will insert your new dialog in sequence immediately following the InstallWelcome dialog.
5. In the Dialog Position and Condition panel, leave the default settings, and click Finish. Your new dialog appears in the Dialogs list.
6. Right-click the dialog and select Rename. Rename the dialog WelcomeBitmap.

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