Defining the End-User Interface
12
This section of the help library covers several features of InstallShield that enable you to define different
aspects of the end-user interface. Everything from dialogs and billboards to the text displayed during the
installation is covered.
Working with Dialogs
Your installation’s user interface is important in many ways, primarily because end-user input and
settings are usually handled through the user interface. If your user interface is difficult to navigate and
understand, users may experience problems installing your product. To ease the process of creating your
installation and to improve the end-user experience, InstallShield provides several predefined dialogs.
Although you are limited to the provided dialogs, you can customize many of them to produce the look
and functionality that you require. For example, you can add a custom image to the top of every dialog,
thereby branding it with your company logo.
Adding a Dialog to an Installation
Task To add a dialog to your installation:
1. In the View List under Customize the Setup Appearance, click Dialogs.
2. In the Dialogs explorer, select the check box for the dialog that you want to add.
