Remove installer at runtime?

Friedrich,

Is it possible to do a dialog asking the user whether he wants to delete the
installation program after a successful installation? I see that that can
be set on the advanced General Information tab, but not how to determine
this at runtime.

Jane,

Good point. This is not possible at the moment but I'll add an option to
give you access to this flag.

Thanks,
Friedrich

Thanks, Friedrich.
I could kludge it with a batch file... but that would be more elegant ;-)

Jane,

:)

Feature added. We can now write "installer flags".

For example, the following is already possible in build #1063. The user
executed the installer in silent mode (e.g. setup.exe /S)

If %_SB_INSTALLERFLAG% Equals "1" on Position "$SB_SILENTMODEFLAG$" Then
Message Box "This demo cannot be run in silent mode!" -- "Silent Mode"
Exit Installation
End

We can now "overwrite" these settings.

Set InstallerFlag ($SB_SILENTMODEFLAG$) = 0

This gives us again more power and flexibility. For example, the installer
replaced in-use files and (automatically) asks to reboot the machine at the
end of the installation process. We can now "overwrite" this and add our
own reboot routine, etc.

If %_SB_INSTALLERFLAG% Equals "1" on Position "$SB_RESTARTFLAG$" Then
Message Box "Please reboot next year yadayada" -- "Reboot"

Set InstallerFlag ($SB_RESTARTFLAG$) = 0
End

Thanks,
Friedrich
