I have an installation that looks something like:
Define Wizard Dialog: #1 (Welcome)
Define Wizard Dialog: #2 (Select Install Folder)
Define Wizard Dialog: #3 (Radio Buttons)
Define Wizard Dialog: #4 (Radio Buttons)
Define Wizard Dialog: #5 (Select File)
Define Wizard Dialog: #6 (Select File)
It can be hard to tell which dialog actually does what, since radio and files are named the same. Could it be an idea to instead display:
Define Wizard Dialog: #1 (Welcome)
Define Wizard Dialog: #2 (Select Install Folder)
Define Wizard Dialog: #3 (Radio Buttons - %NETWORKSETUP%)
Define Wizard Dialog: #4 (Radio Buttons - %NETWORKMASTER%)
Define Wizard Dialog: #5 (Select File - %LICENSEFILE%)
Define Wizard Dialog: #6 (Select File - %DATABASEFILE%)
That way you can spot what the dialog is about, by displaying which variable the dialogresult end up in. Alternatively you could provide a Comment field in the Wizard Dialog that is shown here.
