Actual Installer Forum

Hi!
Is there a way to display a warning text before my app will be installed with Actual Installer?
Right now when I start the installation process, it will start the installation or it will first uninstall a previous installed version of my app. However, doing that will also make the user lose all the information that is inside this app. So what I would like is showing the user a warning text first.

The only place where I see I can do this is in the License Agreement text window (but that isn't the right place for this), because after that, the installation will start, so there is no point to place the warning text in for example the Read Me file. It would be nice if I could insert a general text box at the start of the installation process with a cancel or Ok button. Any suggestions?

Hi,
You can change the text "Before installing you must first uninstall your current version".
Here is an instruction how to change the installer text:
https://www.actualinstaller.com/help/faq.php#q1

You need to edit file English.lng,
section: [Messages]
item: 11

The original text:
11=Before installing "%s", you must first uninstall your currently installed version (%s).<#><#>Would you like to uninstall it now?

Change this string as e.g.:
11=Before installing "%s", you must first uninstall your currently installed version (%s).<#><#>Would you like to uninstall it now?<#><#>Warning: All data will be delete.

Thanks, Leo. I edited the English language file and saved it. However, now during creating the installer., Actual Installer gives me the error message that it cannot find the language file. Also, the icon looks different now from the other language files in the folder. Is this because the saving turned it into another type of file?

Make sure that the file you edited is located in the Languages folder and has am extension .LNG
