Preparing install question

[kmisniak]

Hi, I have InstallScript MSI project. Is there any way to hide or customize "Preparing install" dialog? I mean that one before welcome dialog.

Thanks

Konrad

Hi @kmisniak ,

"Preparing to Install" dialog is being displayed by the bootstrap launcher and, thus, it does not appear in the project in the InstallShield Dialog Editor. And there are no InstallScript or MSI settings backing up this dialog.

But the text displayed in the dialog can be changed as per the below KB article:

https://community.flexera.com/t5/InstallShield-Knowledge/Modifying-Text-In-Installshield-s-Preparing-To-Install-Dialog/ta-p/4356 

One more option under Media-->Releases-->Product Configuration -->Release--> under Setup.exe Tab
Small Initialization Dialog to Yes, to display a small initialization dialog instead of the normal one.
