I have a Readme.txt file in my application and wanted to display the checkbox at the end of successful installation. Btw, I am using the Basic MSI project in Installshield 2010 Professional.
In the "General Information" section, I provided the path for the "ReadMe" property as "[INSTALLDIR]Readme.txt". Also, I followed the below mentioned KB article to add the new properties in the "String Editor" section.
Now, starting from step 2 of the above KB Article, I can't see anything like the "TabStop" on the Bitmap dialog and there is no "Readme" checkbox. It was like I am using a different product.
All I see for the SetupCompleteSuccess dialog in the "CheckLaunchReadMe" dialog behavior is the Condition being set as:
Show -> SHOWLAUNCHREADME="-1" And READMEFILETOLAUNCHATEND <> "" And NOT Installed And NOT ISENABLEDWUSFINISHDIALOG
Can anyone tell me what I am missing? I'll greatly appreciate it.
I don't know why there is a check box there when you can't use the check box. There should be an easy way to turn this on.
One should be-able to click on a button or in the Project Assitent check a box to tell "IS" a path to a readme file. "IS" should take that and turn on that function.
I need to do that and forgot where I found that artical or KB on how to use that function.
By default (IS2010) bitmap tabstop is true and “CheckLaunchReadme” value is 1.
1.Create an exe CA path referencing a directory. Give the below values, Working directory = SystemFolder Filename & Command line = notepad.exe [!readme.txt], readme.txt is the filekey used as a key into the File table (first column in the file table of the reamde.txt). You can also use [INSTALLDIR]path image is attached.
