5. Edit the dialog box text as needed to communicate the purpose of the user account
to the end user who installs your application.
Guidelines for using the Logon Information dialog box
Make sure you customize the text on the Logon Information dialog box to
communicate the logon information's purpose to the end user.
If the end user chooses to create a new user, the end user must have user creation
privileges on the server or domain.
If the end user creates a user with this dialog box, then cancels the installation, the
created user still exists and is not deleted.
During installation, the end user cannot progress through the installation until a
valid NT account is entered on this dialog box. There is no mechanism for the end
user to skip this part of the installation.
Do not use this dialog box to capture logon information to be used in a SQL Server
connection string on the SQL Server Scripts page; the Microsoft SQL Server logon
mechanism prevents this from working.

Obtaining Logon Information From a Dialog
Add the SQL Connection dialog box to an installation to:
Let the end user select a SQL Server name and security credentials to generate a
valid SQL Server connection string.
Populate the WISE_SQL_CONN_STR property with the valid connection string.
When the end user completes the SQL Connection dialog box and clicks Next, the
installation creates and tests the connection string. If the connection string is not valid,
an error message appears.
Note
The SQL Connection dialog box only validates the connection string; it cannot verify that
the user has permission to execute all SQL statements in a SQL script.
SQL Connection dialog box requirements
Use the WISE_SQL_CONN_STR property for the connection string in Installation
Expert > SQL Server Scripts page.

The ODBC SQL Server driver must be on the destination computer for this dialog
