Customize the Setup Appearance
Chapter 4: Basic Tutorial
Customize the Setup Appearance
Customizing the setup appearance involves configuring which dialogs should appear to the end user
during installation, how these dialogs appear, whether billboards are displayed during installation, and
what text is displayed. For purposes of this tutorial, you need only to configure the dialogs.
Dialogs
The Dialogs view lets you select and configure the end-user dialogs that compose the user interface for
your installation. For this tutorial, you can leave the default values for the Global Dialog Settings
properties.
Task To customize the dialogs for your end users:
1. In the View List under Customize the Setup Appearance, click Dialogs.
2. In the Dialogs explorer, clear the License Agreement check box and select the Destination
Folder check box.
3. Select the Destination Folder dialog, and then for its Show Change Destination setting, select
Yes.
Note: For this tutorial, you can ignore the remaining views in this step because they are irrelevant to this project. For your
own projects, you may want to explore these views to see if you need to use them.
Define Setup Requirements and Actions
The views associated with the Define Setup Requirements and Actions View List step enable you to
specify criteria required for your application’s installation, to add functionality not inherently supported
by Windows Installer, and to add files necessary for use during installation. For purposes of this tutorial,
you need only to define minimum requirements for installation.
Requirements
In the Requirements view, you can define the target system requirements. If these requirements are not
met, your product cannot be installed on the end user’s system. The Othello application is fairly simple,
but it does require a Pentium processor.
Task To define requirements for your installation:
1. In the View List under Define Setup Requirements and Actions, click Requirements.
2. In the Processor setting, select Pentium or higher.
