Default Add form to installer - 12-28-2007 , 03:00 PM






I understand you can add a form to the installaltion project.

How can I add a checkbox form to my installation project and configure the
text of the checkboxes?
How can I get the user input from the form and use it during the
installation process?

Thanks

Thank you. That has the info. Wow! a lot of info.

One thing I have not found in there. (So much, it might be there, but so
well buried as not to be available). I see how to give a property name to an
input, but not how to retrieve info by that property in the Installer1.vb
object. The dialog appears before the Install sub is called, but What code
can I put in there to retrieve the values? Thanks

Public Overrides Sub Install(ByVal stateSaver As
System.Collections.IDictionary)
MyBase.Install(stateSaver)
'need some code here to extract the values from the checkboxes
End Sub
