How to use a property set in a dialog

[sedulam]

I'm using InstallShield Professional 2016. I have an SQLLogin dialog, which creates a property IS_SQLSERVER_DATABASE for the server name, and I'll need to use this property in an InstallScript script to create the final connection string.

How can I get the value of IS_SQLSERVER_DATABASE in the script to use it?

This should do the trick.

Hello
I want to create a dialog with 1 edit field for take one parameter in install script mode in Install shield software. This parameter must searched in windows registry (value of a key name or a key name for check is a exists a software in registry or not. This software don’t exist in Prerequisites or Objects ) .If this parameter not exists in registry, call a setup.exe file for installed a software ,else go to after dialog .This parameter can change at any time installation my setup file. I wrote 4 script for it and I use any scripts in my project in OnFirstUIBefore function and in Dlg_SdRegisterUser . actually i don’t know where should i use from they or set a other thing in other places. I use my script in view list( install script view and OnFirstUIBefore function and in Dlg_SdRegisterUser ), But I don’t get my target.
I have 2 question:
1) Where do I use my script? Or how i want to get my target?Because maybe i'm wrong path .
2)For call a setup.exe file of any software(This software don’t exist in Prerequisites or Objects ), must Which function do I use?
One script is:
Dlg_SdRegisterUser:
//I delete company name edit field in SdRegisterUser dialog.
szMsg = "";
szTitle1 = "";
//{{IS_SCRIPT_TAG(Dlg_SdRegisterUser)
nResult =SdRegisterUser( szTitle, szMsg, szName, szCompany );
if (nResult = BACK) goto Dlg_SdLicense2;
nresault2=RegDBKeyExist (szName );
if((nresault2=1) && (nResult=0)) then
goto Dlg_SetupType2;
else
MessageBox("error in your input", SEVERE);
goto Dlg_SdRegisterUser; // this line is place for call setup.exe file of software(gusetion 2)
endif;
//}}IS_SCRIPT_TAG(Dlg_SdRegisterUser)
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Two script is:
Dlg_SdRegisterUser:
//I delete company name edit field in SdRegisterUser dialog.
szMsg = "";
szTitle1 = "";
//{{IS_SCRIPT_TAG(Dlg_SdRegisterUser)
nResult =SdRegisterUser( szTitle, szMsg, szName, szCompany );
if (nResult = BACK) goto Dlg_SdLicense2;
nresault1= RegDBSetDefaultRoot ( nRootKey );
nresault2=RegDBGetKeyValueEx ( szKey, szName, nvType, svValue, nvSize ) ;
if(nresault2=nResult) then goto Dlg_SdLicense2;
else
MessageBox("Unable to find a qualifying program. " +"Setup will now exit.", SEVERE);
goto Dlg_SdRegisterUser; // this line is place for call setup.exe file of software(gusetion 2)
endif;
//}}IS_SCRIPT_TAG(Dlg_SdRegisterUser)
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Three script is:
Dlg_SdRegisterUser:
szMsg = "";
szTitle1 = "";
//{{IS_SCRIPT_TAG(Dlg_SdRegisterUser)
nResult =SdRegisterUser( szTitle, szMsg, szName, szCompany );
if (nResult = BACK) goto Dlg_SdLicense2;
nresault2=RegDBKeyExist (szName );
if((nresault2=1) && (nResult=0)) then
goto Dlg_SetupType2;
else
MessageBox("error in your input", SEVERE);
goto Dlg_SdRegisterUser; // this line is place for call setup.exe file of software(gusetion 2)
endif;
//}}IS_SCRIPT_TAG(Dlg_SdRegisterUser)
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
four script is:
Dlg_SdRegisterUser:
szMsg = "";
szTitle = "";
nResult =SdRegisterUser( szTitle, szMsg, szName, szCompany );
if (nResult = BACK) goto Dlg_SdLicense2;
szName= szSubKey;
nresault2=RegDBKeyExist (szSubKey );
if (szName= szSubKey) then
goto Dlg_SetupType2;
else
MessageBox("error in your input", SEVERE);
goto Dlg_SdRegisterUser; // this line is place for call setup.exe file of software(gusetion 2).
endif;

And in OnAppSearch function after abow script :
function OnAppSearch()
string szSubKey;
number nresault2;
begin
nresault2=RegDBKeyExist (szSubKey );
if(nresault2=1) then
return nresault2;
endif;
end;
and I set value for this script in AppSearch and Reglocator table in my project from below link:

@beti17 that answer seems unrelated to my question. You might want to start a new topic.
