SetupBuilder Insight #5 - Require EULA Reading

[NewsArchive]

Over the next few weeks I'll provide some insight as to what is 'in the
works' for SetupBuilder.

Insight #5 - Require EULA Reading

Another often-requested feature is "Require EULA Reading". The scrolling
End-User License Agreement (EULA) is a very useful feature to satisfy
corporate legal and product management requirements.

With SetupBuilder 7, you can require that end users scroll through the
complete EULA before installation can proceed. SetupBuilder 7 includes
support for disabling the "I accept the terms in the license agreement"
option on the License Agreement dialog until the end user reaches the end of
the EULA text in the scrollable EULA control through mouse or keyboard
scrolling. If the license agreement ever has to stand up in court, this may
make a difference.

The end user must select the "I accept the terms in the license agreement"
option before the Next button is enabled; this behavior is the same as with
earlier releases of SetupBuilder.

Just like NT 4.0 (couldn't press F8 until you got to the bottom).
MS did away with that irritation from W2K onwards. But sounds as if will be
optional...

Yes, it's optional. During the last 7 months, 6% of all feature requests
were for "Require EULA Reading". Seems to me their lawyers attended the
same training course.
