View Full Version : Changing dialog when installation aborts



NewsArchive

Friedrich,

I am using SetupBuilder as the launching EXE for a program I am distributing
on a flashdrive.

Because of SB's incredible capabilities I'm using it to check system
information, check for updates, display license agreement, etc.
After all is set it then launches the actual EXE the user will run.

The one thing I would like to avoid is the final dialog saying that the
installation was aborted. That will be confusing to the user.
I'd like SB either to simply exit or display a dialog of my own design.

Question: How can I specify the behaviour on exit to be something I want
rather than the notification that the "installation " can't complete
succesfully.

Thank you as always,

Mike

Is this what you're looking for?

And you can simply use the "Exit Installation..." Control Statement ;-)

I'll try the "SKip Abort" suggestion. Exit Installation didn't word from the
LOOP system

Hmm, works fine here. I tried all combinations of LOOPs and LOOP WIZARDS
and "Exit Installation..." always terminated the program immediately. Can
you post a small example that demonstrates the wrong behavior?

More to clarify....

I am using this script :
If %_LIC_AGREE_REVIEW_FLAG% Equals "" Then
Define Wizard Dialog "#1" (Readme)
Loop Wizard (Abort Dialog Inactive)
End
End

It displays the attached "untitled.GIF"

Then I press [Cancel] on the attached window "untitled.GIF"

and then get the window titled "Exit_Setup.GIF" attached

I want to avoid the display of Exit_Setup.GIF -OR- be able to change the wording on that dialog.

Thanks for the help !

Mike,

I can't reproduce this :-( I am using your code (see attached screenshot).

This is the test .sb7 project:

http://www.lindersoft.com/projects/mikeb20121116.zip

Could you please modify the project in such a way that it demonstrates this
behavior?

Thanks,
Friedrich

Previously - yes not this year

Detroit Lions 4 - 7

Chicago Bears 8 - 3

Definitely a Monday night matchup since Sunday night is the real contests
presently.

Detroit Tigers - Baseball team - OR were you referring to a GOLF tournament
each of these professional teams could participate in! :-)
