Adding and Removing Installation Dialog Boxes in the User Interface Editor

The User Interface Editor is used to select the dialog boxes that will be displayed at install time to provide information to the user or to prompt the user for input. For most deployment projects, a default set of dialog boxes is automatically displayed in the editor. You can add, remove, or change the order of dialog boxes in the User Interface Editor.

To add a dialog box

1. Select a Start, Progress or Finish node in the Install section of the User Interface Editor.

   Note   Although it's possible to add any dialog box to any node, there are some restrictions. For example, adding a Finished dialog box to the Start node doesn't make much sense and will result in a build error. For a list of restrictions, see Installation Dialog Box Restrictions.

2. On the Action menu, click Add Dialog.

3. In the Add Dialog dialog box, choose the dialog box you wish to add.

To change the display order of a dialog box

1. Select a dialog box node in the User Interface Editor.

2. On the Action menu, click Move Up or Move Down.

   Note   You can move a dialog box between categories via dragging with the mouse or via the Cut and Paste commands on the Edit menu.

To remove a dialog box

• Select the dialog box in the User Interface Editor, and choose Delete from the Edit menu.
