Disabling Custom Setups

AdminStudio 2023 | 25.0 | Tuner

You can use the Dialogs view to prevent users from performing custom setups. However, this requires not only the elimination of the Custom Setup panel during installation, but also the Setup Types panel. Additionally, you must ensure you have configured the features you want installed, as your end user will have no way to override them.

Note:This procedure assumes the original Windows Installer setup was created using InstallShield Editor. If another setup authoring application was used, the names of dialogs and properties may not be the same. The same general procedure still applies.

To use a transform to disable a custom setup:

1.

Select Dialogs from the checklist. The Dialogs View opens.

2.

Using the Installation Mode list, select the UI sequence containing the SetupType dialog. Typically, this is only in the Installation Sequence.

3.

Select the SetupType dialog from the Dialogs list and click Hide.

4.

When the Dialog Properties dialog box appears, change the ADDLOCAL value to ALL.

5.

Click OK to dismiss the dialog.

6.

Select the CustomSetup dialog from the Dialogs list and click Hide.

7.

When the Dialog Properties dialog box opens, change the _BrowseProperty value to INSTALLDIR.

8.

Click OK to dismiss the dialog.

When an end user runs the installation using this transform, the user will not have the option to perform a custom setup.
