I have an installshield project which I use to collect some user information through text boxes, and then finally run a batch file using the "LaunchAppAndWait" function call. All works well except that if I run the installshield installation a second time, a dialog box is displayed with radio buttons asking me to select whether to "Modify", "Repair", or "Remove" the program.
How do I prevent this dialog box from displaying? t is not needed, since my project does not actually install any files. As I said, it just calls a batch file which already exists in a target directory.
You can customize the things how you want to execute during the maintenance operation, if you want to do exactly what you are configured in function OnFirstUIBefore() then you can call all that functions from OnMaintUIBefore like below to popup the new dialog:
function OnMaintUIBefore() number nResult, nType; string szTitle, szMsg; begin
// nType defaults to MODIFY. nType = MODIFY;
//Initialize SQL OnSQLServerInitializeMaint();
// Beginning of UI Sequence Dlg_Start:
// Added in Version 9.5 - Support for REMOVEONLY option. if( !REMOVEONLY ) then // In standard mode show maintenance dialog Disable( BACKBUTTON ); //nType = SdWelcomeMaint( szTitle, szMsg, nType ); // Hey Banna, commenting this out did not work, nor did setting it to REPAIR Please help!
else // Hide the initial progress dialog as otherwise the user can // click on it, and hide the MessageBox. Disable( DIALOGCACHE );
// In RemoveOnly mode, set to remove. nType = REMOVEALL; endif;
// Show Uninstall Confirmation Dialog if ( nType = REMOVEALL ) then
....... continues till end.
And if you do not want to get the Maintenance complete dialog box in this particular scenario, you can customize that also in OnMaintUIAfter function as in the attached screen shot image.
