Restoring Dialog Sequences

To restore dialogs in a UI sequence:

Select Dialogs from the checklist. The Dialogs View opens.

Using the Installation Mode list, select the UI sequence containing the dialog you want to restore.

From the Dialogs list, check the box next to the dialog you want to restore. Alternatively, select the dialog from

the list and either click Show or press the Space Bar.

Using the Dialogs view, it is possible to suppress the license acceptance dialog. This involves both turning off its

display, and providing the value that the setup will interpret as acceptance of the agreement.

This procedure assumes the original Windows Installer setup was created using InstallShield Editor. If

another setup authoring application was used, the names of dialogs and properties may not be the same. The same

general procedure still applies.

To use a transform to suppress display of the license acceptance dialog:

Select Dialogs from the checklist. The Dialogs View opens.

Using the Installation Mode list, select the UI sequence containing the License Agreement dialog. Typically,

this is only in the Installation Sequence.

Select the LicenseAgreement dialog from the Dialogs list and click Hide.

When the Dialog Properties dialog box appears, change the AgreeToLicense value to Yes.

Click OK to dismiss the dialog.

When an end user runs the installation using this transform, the License Agreement dialog will not appear.

You can use the Dialogs view to prevent users from performing custom setups. However, this requires not only the

elimination of the Custom Setup panel during installation, but also the Setup Types panel. Additionally, you must

ensure you have configured the features you want installed, as your end user will have no way to override them.
