Creating New Dialogs in Basic MSI Projects

InstallShield 2009

Task

To create a new dialog in a Basic MSI project:

In the View List under User Interface, click Dialogs.

In the Dialogs explorer, right-click All Dialogs and click New Dialog. The Dialog Wizard launches to help you create a new dialog.

The next step is to edit the dialog’s layout in the Dialog Editor and the controls’ behavior in the Behavior Editor.

Tip

You can also add a dialog by importing one from another project.

Displaying a Dialog in the End-User Interface

Adding a dialog to a project does not mean that the dialog will be displayed in the installation. For information on inserting the dialog into one or more of the project’s sequences, see Displaying Dialogs During Basic MSI Installations.
