Creating a Custom Dialog Box Script
Use the Custom Dialog Editor to change the appearance of installation dialog boxes and
to create new dialog boxes. You can edit and create default dialog box templates, add
interactivity to dialog boxes, and work with dialog box sets, and translate dialog box text
to other languages.
When you add multiple-language support to an installation, you can provide translations
for dialog boxes in the installation. (See
on page 32.)
Typically, dialog boxes are not used in WiseScripts that run silently, or in WiseScripts
that you use as custom actions in a Windows Installer installation.
Note
This documentation covers both WiseScript Package Editor and WiseScript Editor.
WiseScript Editor contains the same scripting interface as WiseScript Package Editor, but
it does not contain the Installation Expert interface or other installation development
tools. Therefore, some of the information in this document does not apply to WiseScript
Editor.
The Custom Dialog Editor is a built-in utility.
Use it to do the following:
Create new dialog boxes
Edit dialog boxes
Create and edit default dialog box
