I am using Installshield 2015. I have project which is installscript msi. I am using/calling SdWelcomeMaint function which display 3 radio buttons as modify, repair and remove. My requirement is I want to hide modify button and display only repair and remove radio buttons.
Is this possible? if so, what are the steps to do it?
There are a couple of different ways to go. You could modify the dialog layout of the SdWelcomeMaint dialog and, since there is not a "Visible" setting then you would want to Delete the Modify choice and its associated text. This can get a bit ugly as anything that references the Modify (Change) would fail once this is done - so it might be a slippery slope for a bit.
Or you could Clone the SdWelcomeMaint dialog, modify the clone, and use it instead, thus not altering the provided dialog.
In a Basic MSI you can hide the associated text, but the radio button would still need to go since it would be considered an active control.
Got some idea, I cloned it and it created new dialog. After that I tried to remove modify radio button and its text but unable to remove as entire radio button group getting removed. Also, do I need to write anything new code after creating new clone dialog or it will work like our standard dialog just calling its name in the code.
You'll need to right click on the radiobutton group container and say "Send To Back" before it will allow you to click on each individual radio button. The radiobutton group container is initially on top, which is correct.
I know what you mean about being new to InstallShield. We all were new to it in the beginning. There is a bit of a learning curve as with many things. It only gets worse from there.
I've been using InstallShield since 1986 or 1987 so I have accumulated my knowledge very gradually and have not ever done a tutorial like this, but I found these that might be helpful.
