To create a new dialog box

The Dialog Box Properties dialog box appears.
2. Enter a title for the dialog box in Dialog Title and click OK. Do not enter the same
title as an existing dialog box.
See Setting Dialog Box Properties
The new dialog box opens in the Custom Dialog Editor.
3. Add and configure controls on the new dialog box.

See Adding and Editing Dialog Box Controls
4. Select File menu > Save Changes and exit.
Note
To use this dialog box in other installation scripts, select File menu > Save As and save
the dialog box as a .DLG file in the \Dialogs\Template subdirectory of this product's
installation directory. This does not affect the current installation. You can add a saved
dialog box to another installation by selecting File menu > Open in the Custom Dialog
Editor.
When you edit a dialog box, the changes affect the current installation only. However, if
you save the dialog box and overwrite the .DLG template file, then the dialog box is
changed for all future installations
1. In Script Editor, locate and double-click the Custom Dialog script line that calls the
dialog box.
The dialog box opens in the Custom Dialog Editor.
2. Make changes to the dialog box by adding, editing, or removing controls.
