Hi, On the function OnFirstUIAfter, i created a custom dialog to allow the end-user to add or not a desktop shortcut. The dialog contains a checkbox. Everything is working fine, but for an unknown reason, LongPathToQuote doesn't seem to add quotation marks. This make my shortcut not working. anyone knows what i'm doing wrong. The shortcut is only executing the .exe the install create. The path itself is ok, only the quotation mark missing. I've put message box before and after to check if it was changing anything. #define CD_CUSTOMENDING "CustomEnding" #define CD_CUSTOMENDINGID 1337 #define CD_CBOX_SHORTCUT 33 #define PROGRAM TARGETDIR ^ "Jnes.exe"; szDlg = CD_CUSTOMENDING; szProgramFolder = FOLDER_DESKTOP; szItemName = "xxxx"; szProgram = PROGRAM; MessageBox(szProgram,SEVERE); LongPathToQuote(szProgram,FALSE); szCommandLine = szProgram; szWorkingDir = ""; szIconPath = SRCDIR ^ "xxx.ico"; nIcon = 0; szShortCutKey = ""; MessageBox(szProgram,SEVERE); if (EzDefineDialog( szDlg, "", "", CD_CUSTOMENDINGID ) = DLG_ERR) then MessageBox("Not able to load CustomEnding Dialog", SEVERE); abort; endif; // Disable( BACKBUTTON ); while(!bDone) nCmdValue = WaitOnDialog(szDlg); switch(nCmdValue) case DLG_INIT: hwndDlg = CmdGetHwndDlg(szDlg); SetWindowText(hwndDlg,"xxxx - InstallShield Wizard"); case IDCANCEL: Do(EXIT); case SD_PBUT_CONTINUE: bDone = TRUE; if (CtrlGetState( szDlg, CD_CBOX_SHORTCUT) = BUTTON_CHECKED) then //Insert shortcut here if (AddFolderIcon (szProgramFolder, szItemName, szCommandLine, szWorkingDir, szIconPath, nIcon, szShortCutKey, REPLACE) < 0) then MessageBox ("AddFolderIcon failed.", SEVERE); endif; ...

hi guys, I've been asked to develop an install for our product. But I have to play a song, sound, music, etc in background while the software is being installed. I know that InstallShield doesn't support sound feature basically. But I've heard about using the winmm.dll to play a sound. Could someone give me more infos about it and what to use in the installscript code to make it work. Thanks! Vince ... View more
