Create custom dialog and passing values to my vbs file

[deonisius]

I have couple of questions here:

1) Can I create my own custom dialog option window (for example to request port value) and how would I do that?
2) Where and how can I store this custom value (eg: port)?
3) Can I pass a custom value/variable value from install in to my vbs script and then afterwards execute it right after install (if so, how)?
4) If I can pass that custom value, can I pass the parent directory where application got installed in to that script (as in, I want to execute my vbs scipt that will point to other files after they were installed)?

Thanks, this will definitely help me decide whether we'll choose this tool for our install or not!

Hi deonisius,

1. You can add a field to request this number (port):
go to Dialogs\Main and select User Information, then open User Information tab and selct Custom Field. In the Field Name type: Port

2. You can store this value in INI files or Registry by using variable <CustomUserInfo>

3. Use System\Command page

4. Yes, the variable is <InstallDir>

Leo:

I can see from this example that I can have one custom field in the dialog.

If I want five or six fields, can I do that, and if so, how?

Thanks
Josh

Hi Johs,

Only tree fields are available.
