Hello there,
We're building a IS installer in which
we need to select a number of files during dialogs step.
How can I use an OpenFileDialog-like edit field (that is with a 'Browse' button to select a local file) ?
Is there a pre-defined Custom action for that (like in AdvancedInstaller) ?
Oherwise could someone provide us with a snippet code (ideally InstallScript)?
Thanks for your indications.
Info: we're using InstallShield 2014.

@bperret065 - Looks like your question should be posted in the AdminStudio forum - this is the FlexNet Manager forum.

Hi @kingpin, @bperret065
See the below links for how to create and process the custom dialog in Installscript and InstallScript MSI projects:
https://helpnet.flexerasoftware.com/installshield25helplib/helplibrary/Dialogs_AddInstallScript.htm
As well you can refer existing dialog source in the Installscript project, such as "Ask Dest Path".
You can find the installscript source for the dialogs, under installscript view -> Dialog Source in the first drop down.

Could you possibly redirect my post to the right forum?
Or should i do it myself?
