Importing Text into License and Readme Dialogs

Windows Installer Editor Reference
When you create a new theme, the images you specify are copied to a new
subdirectory in the Themes directory. The location of the Themes subdirectory
varies.
See Installation Resources and Their Locations
Theme images you create must be in .BMP format. To quickly create theme images,
copy and edit a set of predefined images. These images are in the subdirectories of
the Themes directory.
5. To remove an image from a theme, click the Remove button to the right of the
image.
6. To edit a theme's fonts, click the Set Font button to the right of the font to change
and select a new font from the Font dialog box. Select a font that will be on the
destination computer. If the font you select is not on the destination computer, the
font is set to a recognized system font.
The selected font appears on the Edit Themes dialog box next to the Set Font
button.
The Title Font settings control the font for the title of all dialog boxes that have
a top image. (Example: the title "License Agreement" on the License dialog.)
The Title Font settings do not control the font for the title of the Welcome
dialog or any other dialog boxes that have a side image.
The Main Font settings control the font for the rest of the text on the dialog
boxes. You cannot edit the font of individual sections of a dialog box from the
Edit Themes dialog box.
If you create a new theme and do not set the fonts for that theme, it uses the
default font settings in the Properties table.
To edit the font of the Welcome dialog box title or of any individual sections of
dialog box text, use Setup Editor > Dialogs tab.
See Basic Control Settings
If you change one or more themes on the Edit Themes dialog box, and then click OK, all
the changes are saved, but if you click Cancel, all the changes are canceled.
You can import an .RTF or .TXT file to appear on the License and Readme dialog boxes.
After you import the text, you can edit it in its dialog box.
To import text into License and Readme dialog boxes
1. Select Installation Expert > Dialogs page.
2. Select the dialog box in the Dialogs list.
3. Click Import Text and select an .RTF or .TXT file.
This button is available only when you select the License or Readme dialog boxes.
The text is imported into the dialog box but any embedded graphics are removed.
