How to display different RTF's in Custom Dialog.
Hi,
Hoping someone can help me out here.
I have a custom dialog in a Basic MSI Project, we use it to display an RTF readme detailing new product features during the installation.
The problem is that we have two "configurations" of the product, and each one has a different RTF that needs to be displayed, depending on which install is running. I'm using Release Flags to identify which version of the product it is (and to control what features are included).
I used to do this pretty easily in an InstallScript based project through the Dialog Creation, but I can't figure out how to get the Basic MSI Dialog to do this. Any ideas?
Thanks

One possibility: add two overlapping ScrollableText (RTF) controls on your dialog box, and use ISReleaseFlags in a condition to determine at run time which one to display?

Thanks Robert, that worked perfectly.
