Hi Banna, That won't work because I am trying to only bold one word in the string. For example in my example string, I only need to bold the word "Fantastic",

ralphster · ‎Aug 21, 2019

How can I bold dynamic text which is displayed on my dialog box. See my sample code below. Notice how I am able to use the "\n" escape code to add newlines. So does anyone know how I can bold my text? For example if I wanted to bold the text "InstallSheild" right after the word "Fantastic"? string myMessage; nyMessage="Welcome to the Installation "; nyMessage=nyMessage + "\n\n\n\n We will be using the Fantastic InstallShield installer ";

I have several custom dialog boxes. At the bottom of each box are the words "InstallShield" in a light grey color. How do I get rid of that text? I have tried extending the length of the black bar, but that did not work either? Please see attached image.

Thanks for the help. I can change change part of the header title, but right after it is displayed the words : "Install Shield Wizard". How do I get rid of "InstallShield Wizard"? IFX_PRODUCT_DISPLAY_NAME = "Crostini Plus"; Sprint(DFX_SETUP_TITLE,SdLoadString(IDS_DFX_FORMAT_SETUP_TITLE),IFX_PRODUCT_DISPLAY_NAME )

How can I change the title in the top of the Message Box when it is displayed? I can change titles for other dialog boxes, but I don't know how to change the title for a MessageBox Example: MessageBox("Today is Wednesday.",MB_OK); I want the title at the top of the MessageBox to say "Day Confirm". So how would I change that title?

If I call one of the dialog boxes provided by InstallShield, how can I change the title at the very top of the dialog box? For example if I call the below dialog box nresult =sdAskDestPath(szTitle,szMsg,szDir,0) None of the input parameters to sdAskDestPath will change to title of the dialog box. So how do I do that?

I tried using StrTrim but I am getting an error message : "string value required". Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? string exampleString = " "; exampleString = StrTrim(exampleString ); // Gives compile error message "string value required".

I am working on an InstallScript Project. When the project runs, my custom dialog boxes are displayed in succession. At the top of each dialog is my project name and the words "InstallShield Wizard". Is there a way to change the title at the very top of the dialog box? Or is it possible to delete it? I would prefer just to change it, and not delete it.

Hi Banna. The project you attached installs successfully the first time. After that it will not reinstall. It will eventually display a Maintenance complete dialog box, but that is as far as it will go. So still no solution?

Hi Banna, I get three compiler errors. It looks line the two functions are not defined and the return is not returning a value. Which value should it return? should it return "nResult"? Also it appears that the two functions you listed are not defined? OnSQLServerInitiallizeMaint() : undefined identifier FeatureReinstall(): undefined identifier return; : Error, should return a value

Hell Banna. Attached is my project which is zipped up. It is just a very simple project which will illustrate what I am talking about. 1. Yes I have installed the setup.exe (built using installscript msi project) 2. Yes I need to be able to repeatedly run setup.exe and to have it reinstall the product without being prompted to remove or repair the previous installation. The same issue is happening for both Installshield 2019, and 2016.

Hello Banna, Setting nType = REPAIR is leading to the invocation of dialog boxes to repair the previous installation right? That is not what I need. I just want the product to reinstall and never to prompt to fix, repair or remove the previous installation. How can I do that? I tried your suggestions and all of them will display a dialog box which either indicates that a repair, or upgrade will occur. I tried this with the simplest InstallShield project and it is still not working. Your help is deeply appreciated. Is there another expert whom you can ask about this?

Hi Banna, I am still having the same issue. Also as a separate test I created a brand new InstallShield project ("InstallScript MSI Project"), This new project is very small and only opens two dialog boxes and no custom dialog boxes. In this new project I also commented out SdWelcomeMaint and the same issue is still occurring. I am stuck, so your help is really appreciated. Below is the very simple code SetupRul from the test project I created today. As you can see it is very simple. Yet I am still having the same issue. #include "ifx.h" function OnFirstUIBefore() string szTitle, szDir, szMsg; number nResult; begin Dlg_SdWelcome: szTitle = "Test Installation"; szMsg= "First Dialog Box"; nResult = sdWelcome(szTitle,szMsg); Dlg_SdAskDestPath: szTitle = "Ask Destination Path"; szMsg = "Second Dialog"; nResult = SdAskDestPath(szTitle,szMsg,szDir,0); return nResult; end; function OnMaintUIBefore() //nType = SdWelcomeMaint(szTitle, szMsg, MODIFY); nType = REPAIR;

ralphster · ‎Jul 29, 2019

Thanks for the information Banna. I commented out the line of code: nType = SdWelcomeMaint(szTitle, szMsg, MODIFY): And that did not fix the issue. Do you have any further information which can help me out? As I mentioned before, my project does not need to uninstall any previous installations, because it is not installing any files.

I have an "InstallScript" MSI project. Over several days I have created about 4 custom dialogs. They all work great. Today I am trying to create a new custom dialog box. In the Dialog Wizard I first select "Script Based Dialog", but when I press the "Finish" button, I get an error dialog box labeled "Resolve Conflict". No exact message is given as to what the issue is. At the top of each dialog box is a control id the represents the title of the dialog box. "ControlId_50". That is the only think I can think of that could be wrong, but not sure? Very confusing. Attached is a screen snapshot of how the error dialog box look. I could not include the actual image of the error dialog box, so my mockup is attached. So how can I resolve this?
