Question about change "preparing to setup..." dialog
Dear engineers,
I bought a license of intallshield 2013 primier! I want change "preparing to setup..." dialog by my dialog (a MFC dialog)! Please tell me how can i do it!
If i cannot do this. Can i request intallshield support to change it?
There are two initialization dialogs which are displayed in a row. The second can be edited in the dialog editor (the SetupInitialization dialog), the first can't. But you can remove the first dialog, replacing it with a small progress bar in the lower right corner of the screen, combined with an image in the center of the screen, which you can make look like a dialog. To do this, set "Small Initialization Dialog" to yes in the setup.exe options and insert the image in Support Files > Splash Screen. The above applies to "Basic MSI" projects. Things are different if you're using another projekt type.
You can select "small initialization dialog" in InstallScript, too. I'm not sure what you mean by "MFC dialog". Since the initialization dialog is displayed by InstallShield's setup.exe you have some options to modify the appearance, but you can't control the behavior.
