OpenFileDialog field in a custom dialog.

[bperret065]

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.

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

Hi @kingpin, @bperret065 

See the below links for how to create and process the custom dialog in Installscript and InstallScript MSI projects:

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.
