Abort Dialog customization

[NewsArchive]

Hi Friedrich,

how can I customize the Abort-Sequenz? I want to add the following line:

Text File: Insert Line 0 to "%LOGFILE%" -- Setup cancelled by user after
Dialog %_SB_DIALOGID%!

If the user "aborts" an installation, script execution is stopped
immediately. So there is no way to process any line after that happened.

Perhaps you could have some kind of "On Abort" section that get's called
when the script is aborted? Or call a user defined dll/function if the
script aborts?

I'll look into this for SB 7.1 :-) By design, the script is terminated
immediately if the Wizard "Cancel" button is pressed to quit the setup. I
agree, a special "On Abort" include script (similar to the custom uninstall
script) would give us ultimate flexibility -- but it's not a trivial task to
add this to the compiler.

Sounds like a great idea. You can do it!:)

It's implemented as an experimental feature in SB8, but will not be
available (backport is not possible) in SB7.x.
