Windows Installer 5 Support for the MsiPrint and MsiLaunchApp Control Events
When you are adding a control to a dialog in your project, you can select one of the new events that is now
available for Windows Installer 5:
•
MsiPrint—You can add this event to a push button control that is on a dialog that has a scrollable text control.
When an end user clicks the push button control, the contents of the scrollable text control are printed.
•
MsiLaunchApp—You can add this event to a check box control on a dialog, and select the file that you want
to be launched in the event's Argument setting. The check box enables end users to choose whether to run
the file at the end of the installation. This event is typically used with a check box control that is on the
SetupCompleteSuccess dialog. The check box control should include a condition that prevents the control
from being displayed during uninstallation.
Windows Installer 5 includes support for these control events. Earlier versions of Windows Installer ignore these
events. Therefore, if your installation is run on a system that has Windows Installer 4.5 or earlier and you want to
use one or both of these new events, add a condition to the dialog controls so that they are not displayed on
systems that have Windows Installer 4.5 or earlier.
Windows Installer 4.5 Prerequisites for Windows Vista Systems
The conditions in the following two InstallShield prerequisites are now configured correctly: Windows Installer 4.5
for Windows Vista (x86) and Windows Installer 4.5 for Windows Vista (x64). If one of these InstallShield
prerequisites is installed on the target system during your installation, the installation no longer attempts to install it
again.
