Dialog Suppression Issues

AdminStudio 2023 | 25.0 | Tuner

When suppressing dialog box display, it is important to consider some implications of your actions. Particularly, when removing a dialog from a user interface sequence, there may be properties normally set by that dialog. For example, the LicenseAgreement dialog has a radio button which can set a property to Yes or No, depending on whether you agree to the terms in the license. The value of this property also determines whether the installation should continue. Therefore, if you remove the LicenseAgreement dialog from a sequence, you need to use the Dialog Properties dialog box to set the value of this property so the installation can continue.

Beyond setting necessary properties, you also should consider how features are displayed. For example, you may want to disable custom setups via the transform file. However, you must ensure each feature you want installed is configured to be installed; your end users will have no way to override the choices by performing a custom setup.
