Dialogs View

AdminStudio 2023 | 25.0 | Tuner

When customizing the Windows Installer package, you may want to disable particular panels that appear during the installation, administrative, patch, or maintenance sequences. You can do so from the Dialogs view.

This view contains a list of each of the four installation modes (installation, administrative, maintenance, and patch), with the associated dialogs that appear as part of the UI sequence during the selected mode. You can enable or disable these dialogs by either the check box to the left of the dialog name, or by using the Show and Hide buttons.

If you hide a dialog that appears in more than one sequence, the dialog is hidden during all sequences.

Note:During each installation mode, Windows Installer displays a Wizard containing a sequence of panels. However, the underlying Windows Installer technology actually uses a series of dialogs displayed in sequence. During runtime, they are referred to as panels (as with other Wizards); at design time, they are individual dialogs that can be enabled or disabled as necessary.
